Wainwright's pinch hit fuels Cardinals rally past Pirates
Adam Wainwright, used as a pinch hitter with the Cardinals short of position players, belted a two run two out double in the 12th inning to spark a six run frame and power St. Louis to a 9-3 win over Pittsburgh. The right-hander’s key hit came after Matt Carpenter drew a two out walk and Clint Hurdle issued an intentional pass to Alemdys Diaz. Wainwright drove a gap shot to left center scoring two. Matt Adams extended a 10 game hitting streak with an RBI double, and Jhonny Peralta followed with a single before Brandon Moss added a two run homer for the 12th inning surge. Braxon pitched two scoreless to get the win, moving the Cardinals to 33-28 and five games over .500 while keeping pace behind the Cubs in the NL Central. Pirates starter Juan Nicasio took the loss after six runs crossed in one inning. Starling Marte sparked a late Pirates rally with a leadoff triple, but the comeback fell short.
