The Cardinals scored 2 runs in the second off Tom Gorzelanny,although the damage could have been worse.Scott Rolen was thrown out easily at second and would have scored on a later hit.
Gorzelanny allowed 10 hits in 5 and a third innings,but only 2 runs as he was picked up by Jonah Bayliss.Gorzelanny left the game with the bases loaded in the 6th after being hit by a line drive off the bat of Aaron Miles,but Bayless
bailed him out by striking out Scott Speizo and retiring David Eckstein on a fly ball.Pittsburgh cut the Cardinal lead to 2-1 in the 6th on a solo homer by Jose Bautista.
It was the 3rd of the year for Jose and that was all the runs the Pirates would get on this day.
The Cardinals plated an insurance run in their half of the 8th.
The Pirates travel to Cincinnati tomorrow for a 3 game weekend series.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are in Detroit for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
We will cover it here tomorrow.
Until then!
