How to Watch Pirates at Cardinals (Aug. 26): Stream MLB Live, TV Channel

Andrew McCutchen and the Pirates look to get one back against Wilson Contreras and the Cardinals after dropping game 1 on Monday.

Tuesday’s matchup at Busch Stadium pits the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Pirates will hand the ball to Mitch Keller, a veteran right-hander whose repertoire of breaking stuff gives St. Louis trouble when he’s on. The Cardinals counter with Andre Pallante, a sinker-slider type who thrives on inducing ground balls and keeping the game in the infield. Expect a pitcher’s duel early with both rotations looking to avoid mistakes.

St. Louis arrives buoyed by Monday night’s dramatic walk-off win when Alec Burleson launched the decisive homer in the ninth so confidence will be brimming for Game 2. The Cardinals’ lineup is balanced, featuring slugger Willson Contreras and breakout performances from Masyn Winn, while the Pirates will lean on veteran Bryan Reynolds and dynamic, if streaky, contributors like Oneil Cruz.

Key matchups to watch will be Keller versus the top of St. Louis’s order and Pallante’s ability to neutralize Pittsburgh’s middle lineup with grounders. Bullpen depth could decide the late innings as both clubs have made moves this month that alter matchup possibilities. The Cardinals are favored at home, but underdogs in Pittsburgh have shown they can swing momentum.

Fans can expect low-scoring, small-ball baseball early, with the game likely decided by a late bullpen inning or a single swing from a middle-of-order bat.
