Description

PITTSBURGH, PA — The Pirates have had an awful start to the season and will host the Chicago Cubs for their home opener at PNC Park on Thursday.The first pitch is scheduled for 1:35 p.m. PNC Park capacity will be limited to 25 percent because of the coronavirus outbreak. All tickets are digital and PNC Park is currently completely cashless. Since winning on opening day in Chicago, the Pirates have lost five in a row and appear to be on a potentially historic losing season. The team lost 14-1 on Tuesday and 11-4 on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds. As fans suffer through the team's rebuilding process, at least there will be some new restaurants at the stadium.
