one walk.
David Bednar pitched the ninth for his 27th save.
Richie Palacios homered, Willson Conteras added an RBI double
and Alec Burleson had an RBI single for the Cardinals, who have
lost six of seven.
St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright (3-9) gave up six runs and
seven hits in 4 2/3 innings, with three strikeouts and one walk.
Wainwright was perfect through three innings before Ji Hwan Bae
walked to lead off the fourth. He went to second on Reynolds'
groundout and, after McCutchen struck out, scored on Joe's
single to left for a 1-0 Pirates lead.
Palacios led off the fifth with his first career homer to
right-center to tie the game.
Pittsburgh lit up Wainwright in the bottom of the fifth. With
one out, Vinny Capra singled to right. Alfonso Rivas reached on
an infield single, Alika Williams hit a bunt single to load the
bases and Bae's groundout scored Capra.
Reynolds doubled to right to bring in Rivas and Williams for a
4-1 lead. McCutchen hit his 12th homer, and the 299th of his
career, to left-center to push it to 6-1.
St. Louis got one back in the sixth. Paul Goldschmidt walked,
and after Nolan Arenado flied out, Contreras' double to
left-center drove in Goldschmidt to make it 6-2.
In the seventh, Jordan Walker singled to left and went to second
on Masyn Winn's groundout. After Tommy Edman's popout,
Burleson's single to left scored Walker to cut it to 6-3.
Later that inning, Contreras and St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol
were ejected by home plate umpire Brennan Miller for arguing
balls and strikes after Contreras struck out with the bases
loaded for the third out.
Walker was ejected in the eighth, also for arguing balls and
strikes.
