Pirates vs. Cubs Watch and Listen ONLINE LIVE STREAM Game 3, 2013: MLB Live Feed and Coverage from Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh Pirates battle the Chicago Cubs in Game 3 on Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 12:35 p.m. ET at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, PA. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Thursday afternoon baseball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores. 

Heading into Game 3, Bleacher Report sports columnist Joel Reuter predicts the power rankings outlook for the 2013 MLB regular season. The Pirates head into the 2013 regular season at the no 22 spot - as Reuter points out, "The Pirates have remained in contention throughout the first half in each of the past two seasons, only to fall apart down the stretch. But they'll be looking to get over the hump in 2013. Andrew McCutchen is a bona fide superstar, but he needs more consistent secondary production from the lineup around him if the Pirates are going to contend. Pedro Alvarez, Garrett Jones and Neil Walker are solid complementary pieces. The rotation will benefit from a full season of Wandy Rodriguez, but beyond him and A.J. Burnett, the staff is weak. Top prospects Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon are pushing ever closer to their debuts, and they could make an impact in 2013."

The Cubs snag the no 24 overall spot (out of 30 teams). According to Reuter, "With a new front office in place and a rebuild under way, the Cubs lost 101 games last season. They should be improved this season, though avoiding a last-place finish in the NL Central will be tough. Young stars Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo give the team a pair of building blocks in the lineup and, along with Alfonso Soriano, a productive middle of the order. Jeff Samardzija enjoyed a breakout season last year and could emerge as the team's ace long-term if he can build off last year. Meanwhile, the rest of the rotation was filled out with veteran additions this offseason and could serve as trade chips."

On Opening Day (April 1), the Cubs defeated the Pirates 3-1. Pittsburgh proved victorious in Game 2 with a score of 3-0.

The ball game will be broadcasted live on local channels WGN and ROOT, but fans can listen in on the radio at 93.7 The Fan, WDDH, WGN, WSCR, and ESPN 1050.
