Pirates Stumble, Lose to Cardinals
The home crowd had a good time watching the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals get after it.

St. Louis starter Juan Castillo kept the Pittsburgh hitters in check, while his team cruised to a win, 9-0. St. Louis is now 69-59, while Pittsburgh is 61-66.

Justin Brown had a big 2-run triple for the Cardinals in the bottom of the first inning. With St. Louis leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a cutter from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Jose Acosta and swatted a triple to right. It was his 4th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cardinals ahead, 3-0.

"I pretty much put my pitches where I wanted to," said Castillo.
