Pirates fall to Cardinals 5-4
Despite compiling seven hits and four runs, the Pittsburgh Pirates fell to the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-4, Saturday night at PNC Park.
The Cardinals struck first in the second inning after a fielding error by Ke’Bryan Hayes allowed Juan Yepez to score. St. Louis added three more in the inning to pad their lead.
Ben Gamel scored on a wild pitch in the bottom half of the frame to get the Pirates on the board and Yoshi Tsutsugo doubled home another run a few batters later to bring the Bucs within a pair.
After the Cardinals added their final run in the fourth, Bryan Reynolds hit a two-run, inside-the-park home run to bring the Pirates within striking distance.
