Pirates 7-2 Winners Versus St. Louis
Pittsburgh parlayed a decent outing from starter Jim Reynolds into a solid win over the St. Louis Cardinals. The final score was 7-2. Reynolds yielded 2 runs over 6.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 3, and struck out 5. His record improves to 5-2. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for the Pirates.

Pittsburgh used a well-timed hit by Mauro Rodríguez to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Pirates ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Rodríguez.
