Cardinals Clip Pirates, 2-1, in WC Contest
When the games really matter, the St. Louis Cardinals put on their best show, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates by a final score of 2-1. Victor Gonzalez threw 7.0 innings of 2-hit ball. The series now sits at 1-1 in the best-of-3 affair.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Rich Rivas came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Pittsburgh pitcher Jose Gonzalez, he hit a 2-1 sinker for a run-scoring double. It was a game-changer, putting St. Louis on top, 2-1.

St. Louis manager Leyland Thomas called it "a good, solid win."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at PNC Park in Pittsburgh.
