The Saint Louis Cardinals put a beating on the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday, 10-1, and expect more of the same today when they wrap up their 3-game set at PNC Park. Jack Flaherty is expected to take the hill for the Cardinals and, over his last 3 turns, he has been throwing flames. Flaherty is 2-1, with an ERA of only 0.90 and a nasty WHIP of just 0.60. The Pirates are expected to send James Marvel to the bump. Marvel will be making his Big League debut and will need all the help he can get. The Cardinals are 9-1 in their last 10 trips to Pittsburgh and 4-1 in Flaherty’s last 5 turns against the Bucs.
