Pittsburgh Pirates vs Cleveland Guardians Live Stream: How to Watch MLB

The Pittsburgh Pirates started turning a corner heading into the MLB All-Star break, and entered the break as one of the hottest teams in baseball. Can they keep that going on the other side when they return to play against the Cleveland Guardians?

As Major League Baseball play resumes on Friday after the All-Star break, the Pittsburgh Pirates (50-47) will be looking to pick up where they left off. After being under .500 at the start of July the Pirates finished the first half 7-3 to reach 50 wins. That includes a sweep of the National League Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers to close things out. As they start the second half they’ll take on a Cleveland Guardians (51-46) team that also finished the first half on a high note.
