Cardinals Drop Another One, 8-5
|
The Pittsburgh Pirates saddled the St. Louis Cardinals with a loss at PNC Park. The final score was 8-5. Jorge Fraga was 2 for 4, including 1 single and 1 home run. The Pittsburgh shortstop scored 2 runs and drove in 5. Chris Volstad picked up the win with 6.1 innings of work. He allowed 3 runs on 4 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 12-11. Hideki Okajima, who is tied for 2nd in the NL in holds with 18, earned the save for Pittsburgh.
In the first inning, Fraga had a 3-run home run for Pittsburgh. It was his 23rd home run of the season and put the Pirates on top, 4-0.
"You start putting runs on the board and winning, everyone's going to get excited," said Fraga.
The 4th-place Cardinals have lost 5 consecutive games.
