Pirates Lose 2 To Cardinals

(AP)- Tyler O’Neill slammed a two-run homer in the second inning to put the Cardinals ahead to stay in a 6-5, Game 1 victory at Pittsburgh. Kolten Wong opened the scoring with a solo blast and added an RBI grounder that put the Redbirds ahead, 6-2.  St. Louis completed a sweep as Dylan Carlson’s three-run shot capped a six-run sixth that rallied the Cards past the Pirates, 7-2. A catcher’s interference call coupled with throwing errors by infielders Ke’Bryan Hayes and Josh Bell prolonged an inning that allowed the Cardinals to move back to .500.
