Pirates Topple Cardinals, 6-5, as Flores Shines
The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-5. Doing his part was first baseman Jorge Flores, who slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Pittsburgh pitcher Steve Pittsley got the win. He's now 8-6. Jorge Salinas was tagged with the loss. The first-place Pirates, at 95-66, lead the National League Central Division by 14 games.

Flores contributed in the bottom of the fifth. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was one at-bat among others that helped Pittsburgh get the win.

In comments to the Pittsburgh Observer, Flores admitted that he doesn't always push himself. "But the results," he said, "speak for themselves."
