Win Lifts Cardinals to 7-3
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Ian Anderson was all business, helping his team muzzle the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3-0. Anderson, the winner, moves to 1-0. He threw 6 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up 2 walks. Evan Phillips recorded the save for St. Louis, his 2nd of the season.

St. Louis used the hitting of Jordan Walker to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a solo home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Cardinals on top, 1-0. For the game, Walker had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Sometimes a win comes easy," Walker told the St. Louis Daily News. "And sometimes you have to scratch and claw."

The Cardinals, now 7-3, have played some good baseball in the early going.
