Pittsburgh Beaten, 7-5, by St. Louis
The St. Louis Cardinals had to overcome a fine effort from Pittsburgh pitcher Luis Fernández to win, 7-5, at PNC Park. Fernández went 6.2 innings and allowed 1 run. Nelson Acosta recorded the save, making him 4 for 5. With the win, St. Louis has a record of 40-47. Pittsburgh falls to 40-46.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Juan Álvarez? The St. Louis third baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Cardinals on top, 7-5. For the game, Álvarez had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Álvarez.
