The Pittsburgh Pirates lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 last night. The Pirates will try to win two out of the four game series tonight. First pitch at 10:10 on WISR.

Penguins:
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Drew O’Connor has filed for salary arbitration as a restricted free agent.
On Wednesday, the NHL Players’ Association announced 22 players had elected to file for arbitration with O’Connor being the lone member of the Penguins doing so.
O’Connor, 25, broke through last season. O’Connor appeared in 46 games and scored 11 points (five goals, six assists).

The Penguins formally extended qualifying offers Friday to all five players to retain their signing rights.
A deadline for teams to elect salary arbitration is 5 p.m. Thursday. Salary arbitration hearings are scheduled to be held from July 20-Aug. 4.
