The St. Louis Cardinals topped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 2-1, in National League action at Busch Stadium. The standout performance belonged to St. Louis pitcher and San Carlos, California, native Ernesto Stainforth. Trevor Rosenthal earned his 40th save in 46 chances. St. Louis has now won 3 straight, while the Pirates have lost 3 in a row.

The Cardinals got a big at-bat from shortstop Brett Lawrie. For the game, Lawrie went 1 for 3 with a double and a walk. In the bottom of the third, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 13th double of the season gave St. Louis a 2-1 lead.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Pittsburgh manager Jose Mijares. "The effort was great."
