## Resource

The Pittsburgh Pirates face a challenging divisional series against the St. Louis Cardinals, following a disappointing home series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Pirates starting rotation, including Mitch Keller, Carmen Mlodzinski, and Braxton Ashcraft, is under scrutiny. Keller, despite a strong season, needs to recover from a rough outing. Mlodzinski, transitioning to a starting role, must prove his effectiveness. Ashcraft, a bright spot in May, seeks revenge against the Cardinals. The series, starting May nineteenth, is crucial for the Pirates to regain standing in the National League Central. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
