Pirates Vs. Cardinals, 1 July 2012: Andrew McCutchen Sits

Erik Bedard vs. Jake Westbrook at 2:15 as the Pirates go for the sweep. It's a high of 106 in St. Louis today.

Since a series of bad outings in late May and early June, Westbrook has pitched well recently, throwing a complete game against the Tigers June 20 and throwing a complete game against the Marlins in his last outing.

Andrew McCutchen sits today, as Clint Hurdle said he would. It sounds like it shouldn't be a long-term issue.
