The Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates began their second series of the year in St. Louis last night. JJ Wetherholt hit a two-run home run in the third to get the Cardinals on the board first. Nolan Gorman batted in Alec Burleson in the following inning before Pittsburgh scored four runs in the fifth. Down one the Red Birds responded with a Nolan Gorman and Alec Burleson homer, but the Pirates kept pace and after nine, tied at six, extra innings were needed. The deciding play came in the tenth when Iván Herrera hit a three-run walk-off home run to give the Cardinals the 9-6 victory. Game two is live tonight on KSMO Radio with pregame coverage at 5:50 and first pitch at 6:45.
