St. Louis Beats Pittsburgh, 4-2
Busch Stadium was the site of a competitive game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals.

The St. Louis Cardinals topped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-2, in National League action at Busch Stadium. The standout performance belonged to St. Louis pitcher and Guanare, Venezuela, native Martin Perez. Perez yielded no runs over 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 2 hits, walked 3, and struck out 7. His record improves to 4-10.

Andruw Monasterio had a big run-scoring double for the Cardinals in the bottom of the second inning. With St. Louis leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 30-year old right-handed pitcher Bailey Ober and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 7th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cardinals ahead, 2-0.

Perez called the win a test of his team's "mettle."

St. Louis has run its win streak to 4 consecutive.
