Pirates Pitchers Flirt with Perfection, Fall Short
Description
Pirates pitchers dominated the first nine innings, retiring the first twenty Cardinals batters, but a late rally by St. Louis secured a four-to-two win. Dotel shone with four perfect innings, striking out three. Pittsburgh led 2-0 after the second inning. The game turned in the seventh when the Cardinals scored four runs, including back-to-back solo homers by Pagés and Wetherholt. Despite the loss, the Pirates staff extended their strikeout streak to sixty-six games. Nick Gonzales kept his hit streak alive, while Oneil Cruz missed the game due to illness. The Pirates prepare for Braxton Ashcrafts start against Kyle Leahy on Tuesday.
