The Pittsburgh Pirates begin a three game series against the Chicago Cubs Friday at Wrigley Field.

The Pirates face a red hot Chicago team this coming weekend.  It is going be another huge test for the Pirates, taking two of three would be a major boost for the club.  As hot as the Cubs are hitting, the Pirates pitchers especially the bullpen will need to be on their A game. It has been an up and down campaign so far for one of the top pens in the league. Let’s take a look at the bullpen so far this season pitcher by pitcher.
