					| Pirates Drop Cardinals, 6-0 |  
					| The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-0, at Busch Stadium. The win was due in part to designated hitter Vincent Poopwell, who was 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The Pirates, now 82-48, have won 5 in a row. 
 Steve Jordan, the two-time All-Star , had a direct impact on the outcome. Jordan contributed a run-scoring  walk in the top of the second inning to put Pittsburgh up, 2-0.
 
 Jordan said his team "played with focus."
