					| Pirates Knock Off Cardinals, 6-3 |  
					| The Pittsburgh Pirates picked up a win at PNC Park, knocking off the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-3. On the mound for Pittsburgh was right-hander Isaburo Ishihara, who played a pivotal role in the win. Jeremy Kennie earned the save for Pittsburgh, his 43rd of the year. Pittsburgh, at 98-55, is 18 games up in the National League Central Division. 
 The Pirates got an important contribution from catcher Eisse Bravenboer, who in the bottom of the third knocked a 2-0 fastball into right-center for a 2-run  double. It was his 16th double of the season and put the Pirates ahead, 4-0.
 
 "When this team comes together and plays the way we can, we can compete with anyone," said Bravenboer. "I think we're going to keep proving that."
