Cherington says he’s ‘encouraged’ while blowout losses keep piling up

The Cardinals completed their sweep of the Pirates at PNC Park Sunday afternoon, jumping ahead early before coasting to an 18-4 decision.

Starter Bryse Wilson was chased after allowing seven runs in 1 2/3 innings, the defense made their 33rd error of the season -- tying them with the Diamondbacks for the most in baseball -- and the only runs they scored on the day came in the ninth against Yadier Molina, who was pitching to preserve the Cardinals' bullpen. The Pirates' -88 run differential is currently the worst in baseball.
