Andre Pallante (6-12) allowed eight runs (seven
earned) on eight hits and a walk in five innings. He is 0-4 with
a 11.65 ERA over 17 innings in his last four starts.
Nolan Gorman hit a two-run homer for the Cardinals, his 13th of
the season.
Davis hit his sixth home run of the season in the third inning
to give Pittsburgh an 8-0 lead.
Pittsburgh's Oneil Cruz went 0 for 4 with a walk and an RBI
after being activated from the seven-day concussion injured list
prior to the game.
Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras went 0 for 3 with an
RBI after appealing his six-game suspension for a tirade
directed at the plate umpire a night earlier.
Key moment
Pittsburgh scored five runs in the first inning off Pallante.
Jared Triolo and Spencer Horwitz singled, Reynolds hit an RBI
double, Cruz walked, Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run single and
Jack Suwinski added an RBI double before Davis hit a sacrifice
fly to right field on Pallante’s 26th pitch for the first out.
Key stat
Reynolds hit his 33rd and 34th doubles of the season to move
into a tie with Atlanta’s Matt Olson for the National League
lead. Reynolds’ 12 doubles in August are the most he has hit in
a month in his career after he hit 11 in August of 2019.
Up next
Carmen Mlodzinski (3-7, 3.89 ERA) starts Wednesday night for the
Pirates against the Cardinals' Sonny Gray (12-6, 4.33).
