Cardinals Raise Rally Flag, Beat Pittsburgh, 4-2
PNC Park was the site of a competitive game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals.

Mike Pemble was superb against Pittsburgh. The right-hander had a fastball that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a Cardinals victory. The score was 4-2. Doug Seliger notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. His record now sits at 2-0. Ray Scifo finished the game for St. Louis and earned his 7th save.

St. Louis used the timely hitting of Mike Bates to capture the win. The third baseman socked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Bates said after the game.

St. Louis is now 65-60, Pittsburgh 67-60.
