The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday by a score of 3-1. The Pirates drew first blood in the Bottom of the 1st on a 2 run shot by Ike Davis that hit the speaker in Center field. The Cards cut the lead in half in the Top of the 3rd on a solo shot by Matt Holiday. The Pirates would get that run back in the Bottom half on a Sac Fly by Andrew McCutchen. That would be it for the scoring as both Jeff Locke and Adam Wainwright were solid from there on out. Locke pitched 7.1 innings of 1 run ball to improve to 6-3, while Wainwright fell to 15-9 despite allowing a respectable 3 runs over 6 innings. Mark Melancon pitched a scoreless 9th for his 24th save. The Pirates are now 69-64 on the season, 4 games back of 1st place Brewers and 2 games back of a wildcard spot.
