Pirates Get Past St. Louis for 7-6 Win
The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-6, at Busch Stadium. Chris Riley was a standout performer for Pittsburgh. His 4 hits included 2 singles and 2 doubles -- this in addition to the 2 runs he scored and 1 he knocked in. Charlie Maxwell closed it out for his 1st save. The last-place Cardinals now sit at 56-81.

The Pirates beat the Cardinals with some clutch hitting. The single by Jeremy Bowen in the top of the ninth is a good example. With two down, Bowen gave his team the lead, 7-6, when he came through with the big hit.

"Nice win for us," said Bowen. "Now we'll go after the next one."
