Pirates, Rooney Pin Bad Loss on Cardinals
The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals by a score of 11-2. Pittsburgh first baseman Nick Rooney deserved the lion's share of the credit. Rooney was 3-5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4 for the Pirates. Stan Stirnweiss, who went 8.1 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 2 runs on 7 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 10. His record now stands at 14-12. The Pirates, at 90-58, have a comfortable 18½-game lead in their division.

In the top of the first of a scoreless game, Rooney hit a 2-run home run to put his team ahead.

"The Pirates definitely had our number," said St. Louis manager Jeff Jones Jr..
