Game #35 GameThread: Jays @ Pirates

By Tom Dakers

St. Louis Cardinals vs Pittsburgh Pirates, 2013 National League Division Series Set Number: X157032 TK2 R1 F40

Time for a sweep.

There is rain in Pittsburgh, it is possible the start of the game will be delayed.

Vlad is out of the lineup again. I haven’t seen anything from the Jays about his wrist issue.

Today would be a good day for Belt to get his BA over .200. I’d say the same about Jansen but that would take a 4 for 4 day and that’s a bit of a long shot.
