Russell Wilson to throw out first pitch Friday against Red Sox

The Pirates return to PNC Park for a week-long homestand and look to get back on track after being swept by the Mets in New York.

In addition to the action on the field and the Red Sox coming to town, the Pirates are offering plenty for fans to enjoy.

Fans at PNC Park on Friday night will get to see Russell Wilson take the field in Pittsburgh for the first time.

Before he debuts at Acrisure Stadium this fall, the new Steelers quarterback will throw out the first pitch.

Other highlights include a celebration of youth baseball and softball, a buy one get one free ticket to the Gateway Clipper and educator appreciation event on Sunday.

The Pirates will celebrate Earth Day on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers and will offer discounted tickets.

Tuesday is a Pup Night, you’ll be able to bring your dog to PNC Park.

Wednesday is a Dollar Dog night and Thursday’s matinee against the Brewers at 12:35 is Bring Your Bucco to Work Day. Pirates employees are encouraged to bring their children to work to experience a behind-the-scenes gameday at PNC Park.
