Pittsburgh starter Thomas Hatch, working as an
opener, pitched three scoreless innings, allowing two hits and a
walk, with one strikeout.
Left-hander Bailey Falter (1-7) followed with six one-run
innings, giving up three hits and two walks. He fanned eight.
That run came on Andrew Knizner's homer for the Cardinals, who
have lost five of six.
St. Louis starter Drew Rom (0-1), making his major league debut,
gave up eight runs, six earned, and eight hits in 3 2/3 innings.
He walked four and struck out four.
Pittsburgh got started early, scoring two in the first. With one
out, Bryan Reynolds doubled to the wall in right. After Andrew
McCutchen popped out, Joe reached on second baseman Jose
Fermin's throwing error, with Reynolds going to third.
Rodriguez's infield hit brought Reynolds home and sent Joe to
third. Joe scored on a wild pitch.
In the third, McCutchen singled to left and went to second on
Joe's walk. Rodriguez singled to left to load the bases.
Palacios struck out before Peguero's single to right drove in
McCutchen and Joe to make it 4-0.
The Pirates blew the game open in the fourth. Ke'Bryan Hayes led
off with a double off the wall in right-center and went to third
on Reynolds' groundout. After McCutchen struck out, Joe drove in
Hayes with a double to center for a 5-0 lead. After Rodriguez
walked, Palacios' blast to right increased the gap to 8-0. It
was his fifth homer of the season.
St. Louis got on the board in the fifth when Knizner led off
with his 10th homer, a shot to left field.
In the eighth, Joe hit his third double, to left-center, and
Rodriguez singled to left. Palacios brought both home with a
double to right-center to push it to 10-1. An out later,
Williams knocked in Palacios with a double to left.
