The Pittsburgh Pirates fell to 9-7 on the season after losing the final of four games to the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday afternoon, splitting the set with the Redbirds at Busch Stadium.
Mitch Keller turned in six innings of work for the Bucs, allowing three runs on seven hits, the biggest of which was Lars Nootbaar’s home run to knot the game at three in the sixth inning. Keller would walk a pair and strike out three in the process.
The Cardinals load the bases with one out, but Mitch Keller induces the perpetually fun inning-ending, 1-2-3 double play.
