Cardinals Lose at Home, 9-4, to Pittsburgh
The 9-4 Pittsburgh win over St. Louis was due largely to Quilvio Veras. The Pirates second baseman went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The win leaves Pittsburgh with a record of 19-13.

Pittsburgh grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Veras, who finished 2nd in the AL in triples with 12 in 1994, hit a 2-run home run. His 2nd home run of the season put the Pirates out in front, 2-0.

"We came in and got the job done. That's what it's all about in this business," said Veras.
