The team unveiled a Black Lives Matter banner inside the park. The banner is hanging from PNC Park's left-field rotunda, and the team's logo is included on the banner.

The Pirates tweeted a picture of the banner of Friday, saying, "Use your platform. Make a difference. #BlackLivesMatter."

The Boston Red Sox recently put up a Black Lives Matter billboard next to Fenway Park.

The Pirates' Jarrod Dyson took a knee during the national anthem on Friday before the team's opening game against the Cardinals.
