St. Louis Downed, 5-2, by Pirates
The St. Louis Cardinals got a sterling performance from pitcher Marcus Stroman, but the Pittsburgh Pirates still prevailed, 5-2. Stroman threw 6.2 innings of 3-hit ball. Pittsburgh reliever Landen Roupp picked up the win to move to 1-3. Mark Leiter Jr. suffered the loss. Earning his 5th save of the year was Pierce Johnson.

Anthony Volpe came through with a big-time hit for Pittsburgh. The pinch hitter smacked a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"This level of focus will win us a lot of ballgames," Volpe said after the game.

The Pirates raised their record to 14-23.
