					| Cardinals Net 4-1 Win Over Pirates |  
					| PNC Park was the site for National League action featuring the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals. 
 The St. Louis Cardinals got a strong performance from pitcher Danny Rivera, who stymied the Pittsburgh offense en route to a win, 4-1, at PNC Park. Rivera picked up the win for St. Louis, going 7.1 innings. He gave up 1 run on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 5-4. Ray Scifo earned the save, his 8th.
 
 Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Armando Carbajal? The St. Louis first baseman had a 2-run  double in the top of the second inning to put the Cardinals on top, 2-0. For the game, Carbajal had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.
 
 "We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Carbajal.
 
 St. Louis has now won 3 straight, while the Pirates have lost 3 in a row.
