Cards-Bucs to settle set on full MLB.TV slate
- Updated: May 8, 2016
On Saturday, the Cardinals beat the Pirates for the first time in five tries this season, pulling out a 6-4 victory on Matt Carpenter’s walk-off home run in the ninth inning.
In today’s finale at Busch Stadium, St. Louis tries to take the series, move to two games over .500 and pass Pittsburgh for second place in the National League Central.

MLB.TV Premium returns with the same features as last year, but at $109.99, it is a full 20 bucks cheaper than the 2015 cost. This package has the best value and provides access to more than 400 devices and a free subscription to the MLB.com At Bat Premium app (a $19.99 value).

The new MLB.TV Single Team package is also now available as an $84.99 yearly subscription. You can watch a single team’s live out-of-market games in full HD.
Here is a look at what to watch for today in the Majors (all times ET):
Rollin’ Nola: PHI@MIA, 1:10 p.m. The Phillies have some exciting young pitchers, and Nola certainly is on that list. The 22-year-old, the seventh overall pick of the 2014 Draft out of LSU, has allowed one run and struck out 21 batters in 21 innings over his past three starts, allowing a .113 batting average. Even more impressive is that all three outings came on the road, where Nola also will be pitching today. In fact, going back to last season, he has allowed no more than one run in six consecutive road starts.
“He can paint the fastball on both sides of the …
