Pirates Snatch Late Win
|
The Pirates grabbed a win, 3-2, at Busch Stadium, overcoming a fine effort from St. Louis pitcher Edward Sanchez. Sanchez went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. The Pirates sit in last place in the National League Central Division with a record of 36-78.
Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Andres Vazquez to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pirates on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"The most important thing is that we won," Vazquez said.
