The Cardinals earned a series win over the Pirates following a 4-3 victory in the finale from St. Louis. Paul Goldschmidt crushed a two-run homer in the third inning, while Pedro Pages [[ paw-hezz ]] singled-home another run. Brendan Donovan broke a 3-3 deadlock with a solo homer in the sixth, which proved to be the game-winning run. Chris Roycroft got the win in relief as St. Louis has won three of its last four games and improved to 33-and-34. The Cardinals are in second place in the NL Central, and they send Kyle Gibson to the mound against the Cubs this afternoon.
