Cardinals Lose to Pirates, 3-2
The Pittsburgh Pirates scored a 3-2 win versus the St. Louis Cardinals at PNC Park. Pittsburgh third baseman Jake Lamb nabbed top player honors in the tight contest. Rick Porcello earned the win to go to 2-4. He allowed 2 earned runs on 6 hits, with 2 walks and 8 strikeouts. Keone Kela was credited with the save for Pittsburgh, his 2nd of the season.

Brian Dozier, who is tied for 4th in the NL in stolen bases with 6, aided the Pittsburgh cause with a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the second. For the game, the second baseman drew 1 walk.

Afterward, Pirates manager Corey Wehr was ebullient. "That was a fun game to coach," he told a group of reporters, adding, "I hope it was just as fun to watch."

The Pirates are off to a tough start, getting just their 8th win in 27 games.
