With Late Score, Pirates Beat Cardinals
Pittsburgh beat St. Louis on the strength of starting pitcher Luis Gallegos's fine effort. The left-hander led his team to a win, 4-3. Joe Kaiser earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. He upped his record to 7-6. Pittsburgh is now 65-68, while St. Louis is 60-74.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Pat Miller? The former first round draft pick Miller stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put Pittsburgh up, 4-3. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

Miller told a Pittsburgh Chronicle reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.
