					| Pirates Take Down Cardinals, 3-2 |  
					| The Pittsburgh Pirates got a strong performance from pitcher Sam Richardson, who stymied the St. Louis offense en route to a win, 3-2, at Busch Stadium. Richardson picked up the win for Pittsburgh, going 8 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 18-10. Pittsburgh is 75-78 and St. Louis, with the loss, 56-97. 
 Pittsburgh relied on the hitting of Raul Mendoza to pick up the win. The right fielder ripped a run-scoring  single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pirates on top, 3-2. For the game, Mendoza had 1 triple and 1 single in 3 at-bats.
 
 "We put some tough at-bats on some tough pitches," said Pittsburgh manager Michael Jank.
