Pirates Score Late, Upend Cardinals, 8-4
Pittsburgh first baseman Ryan Zimmerman was a significant contributor in his team's 8-4 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals. He went 2 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 5 for Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh reliever Patrick Corbin picked up the win, upping his record to 5-4. Zack Littell absorbed the loss. Their 62-84 record puts the Pirates last in the National League Central Division.

Zimmerman had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 1-1 fastball from Zack Littell, he banged a grand slam home run to left-center, giving the Pirates a 8-4 lead. It was the 24th home run of the year for Zimmerman.

"I'm proud to wear a Pittsburgh jersey," Zimmerman told the Pittsburgh Herald. "We played a good game and came out with the win. What more can you ask for?"
