On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith discusses the career evening from Joshua Palacios amidst a blowout victory of the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. Will the offense carry over into game two against Adam Wainwright? Also, Johan Oviedo faces Waino tonight, and Ethan has been thinking about how important Oviedo will be for the Pirates moving forward. If Oviedo can have a strong end to his surprising 2023 campaign and workload, the off-season decisions for the Pirates could become easier in relation to the starting pitching staff. Finally, Henry Davis went on the IL prior to yesterday's game after a right hand strain in his thumb. The injury stings, but it could be a valuable break for Davis moving forward.
