St. Louis trails the best of five series, two games to one and need a victory today to force a fifth and deciding game at home on Wednesday.

Wacha came within one out of pitching a no-hitter back in September will need his best pitching stuff today against the upstart Pirates. Good luck to him and the Cardinals today in Pittsburgh.
