The Pittsburgh Pirates will be without one of their most important offensive weapons Monday night. The team scratched center fielder Oneil Cruz from the starting lineup ahead of their series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals at PNC Park, with Jake Mangum stepping in as his replacement in center field.

There weren’t going to be many highlights to share from tonight’s St. Louis Cardinals game in Pittsburgh as the Pirates bullpen nearly no-hit the birds. However, the St. Louis Cardinals broke the heart of the Bucks thanks in part to a loud homecoming from JJ Wetherholt and a rally for the ages.
