St. Louis Defeated By Pirates, 10-7
Behind the hitting of Kyle Tucker, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 10-7. Tucker went 2 for 3 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 4 for the Pirates. Pittsburgh starter Chris Sale was credited with the win after throwing 104 pitches over 6.2 innings. His record now stands at 5-5. The Pirates lead the NL Central Division by 2½ games.

The Cardinals had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Pirates going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the former first round draft pick Mike Zunino came to the plate. Zunino hit a run-scoring double on a 1-0 slider from St. Louis hurler AJ Ramos. It was Zunino's 3rd double of the year.

"We got the victory," said Zunino. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."
