					| Behind Cooper, St. Louis Blanks Pittsburgh, 3-0 |  
					| Steve Cooper shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-0 on a 2-hit masterpiece for the St. Louis Cardinals at PNC Park today. 
 "He was kind of teasing them with his off-speed stuff, and his fastball was moving everywhere," St. Louis skipper Jeff Jones said afterward.
 
 Cooper registered 5 strikeouts and issued 2 walks in pitching a gem.
 
 "We just didn't swing the bats very well. Or else he just pitched good, whichever way you want to look at it," said Pittsburgh manager Michael Jank after the defeat.
 
 To date this year, Cooper shows a 5-6 record, 16 starts, 87.2 innings, 59 strikeouts and a 4.83 ERA.
