Pirates Stymie St. Louis, Take 2-1 Win
Pittsburgh beat St. Louis at Busch Stadium, eking out a 2-1 win. The win was due in large part to pitcher Rick Porcello, who earned player of the game honors. Porcello, the winner, moves to 4-3. He threw 5 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 6 and giving up 2 walks. Taylor Rogers earned his 2nd save in 3 tries.

Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Ryan Zimmerman to capture the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Pirates on top, 1-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but he made it count.

"If you ever get this game figured out," said St. Louis manager John Mondo, "let me know."

The Pirates saw their record improve to 16-21.
