Cardinals Sneak By Pirates, 3-2
The Cardinals grabbed a win, 3-2, at Busch Stadium, overcoming a fine effort from Pittsburgh pitcher James Paxton. Paxton went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. Nelson Acosta, credited with the win in relief, is now 2-0. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 0.1 innings. This win makes it 5 in a row for St. Louis.

The game was decided with one out in the bottom of the ninth. With St. Louis trailing 2-1, Lucas Tirado hit a changeup from Joe Kaiser to left for a 2-run single. Just like that, the Cardinals had a walk-off win.

"We just didn't score enough runs to win," said Pittsburgh manager Jose Mijares.
