Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates (17-17) take on the St Louis Cardinals (22-16) in a four-game series on the road. Trevor Williams will get the start tonight in game two, starting at 8:15 PM. He has pitched at least six innings in all seven starts this year, though he has allowed a total of nine earned runs in his last two outings combined. The Cardinals will counter with veteran right-hander Adam Wainwright, who has a 4.71 ERA in 36.1 innings this season, with 29 strikeouts and a 1.35 WHIP. In his last start against the Chicago Cubs, he gave up six runs over five innings. Wainwright faced the Pirates back on April 1st and allowed four runs in four innings of work.

Chris Archer threw a 60-pitch simulated game at Busch Stadium today according to the Pirates. No word on his next step yet, but he felt fine afterwards.

Here are the lineups:

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
