					| St. Louis Drops Pittsburgh, 4-2 |  
					| The St. Louis Cardinals topped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-2, in National League action at PNC Park. The game was highlighted by the performance of St. Louis pitcher Nate Crow. Danny Romero notched his 22nd save in 29 chances. St. Louis is now 44-51, while Pittsburgh is 56-38. 
 St. Louis used a well-timed hit by Tom Butterbaugh to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run  double in the top of the third inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.
 
 "Nate was able to execute his pitches," said St. Louis manager Jeff Jones Jr.. "Simple as that."
