PITTSBURGH – Cardinals Dylan Carlson’s three-run home run crowned a six-run explosion in the sixth inning opposite the error-prone Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night, giving St. Louis a 7-2 win and a double sweep.
The Cardinals won the first game 6-5 the home runs of Kolten Wong and Tyler O’Neill and pitches enough to triumph over 4 errors.
St. Louis, betting his third double in five days, climbed to the Array500 (24-24) with the Victory in the Combined for a place in the playoffs.
Andrew Miller (1-1) drew the most sensible aspect of the sixth to claim victory when the Pirates – betting as a away team on the scoreboard because the game served as compensation for a previous postponement in the season due to a COVID-19 epidemic with the Cardinals – self-destructed at the back of the inning.
Chad Kuhl (1-3) was five innings, but things collapsed in sixth. Kuhl walked Tommy Edman early in the driveway and Paul Goldschmidt reached receiver interference. Brad Miller then walked in four pitches to qualify for the bases, chasing Kuhl.
Paul DeJong tied 2 with a high sacrifice opposite reliever Chris Stratton and St. Louis took the lead when Pittsburgh third baseer Ke’Bryan Hayes threw away from the house to put Goldschmidt on the plate on a Grounder through O’Neill. baseer Josh Bell’s attempt to turn a double play into a roletazo through Matt Carpenter ended up in left field.
Carlson, called up Friday for a brief period with the Cardinals after hitting solo. 162 in 23 previous games at the time, sent Stratton’s above the wall to the right half for his home run in the primary league.
All six races in the inning were not won as the Pirates lost for the tenth time in 11 games. Bryan Reynolds connected a long house race in front of the Opener of St. Louis, Daniel Ponce de León, who ended up on the Allegheny River, but in a different way. The Pirates committed a small foul while falling into a 15-36 primary league.
Wong the first game with the home run of his career. O’Neill added a two-point shot in the third against Trevor Williams (1-8) and St. Louis escaped when the Pirates left the bases full in the seventh.
HELSLEY’S MEMORABLE MOMENT
Cardinals Ryan Helsley’s reliever made the first save of his career in the first game, recording the last two outs of the seventh that showed a little bit of everything.
With two outs and no one at stake, the referees were forced to review the series of pitches to Kevin Newman after marble referee Jordan Baker lost count.
“I’m pretty sure they combined and weren’t sure if there was a ball or a strike,” Helsley said. “I suppose I went with him. I pictured it 3-2, too, but I got stuck in the game.
Newman walked and Erik Gonzalez reached the time of shortshoo field pitch error Paul DeJong. Helsley gave a ball base to emerging hitter Josh Bell to qualify for the bases, but withdrew John Ryan Murphy in a high to finish him off after a brief communication from receiver Yadier Molina.
“Yadi went out and said, “Just attack this guy and do our best, ” said Helsley. “And that’s what we did. “
After getting rid of all four hits in their last 18 combined innings, the Cardinals hit eight in seven innings against Williams and three relays to triumph over a sloppy defense.
Al Reyes (2-1) was imposed on the starter Carlos Martínez.
Williams saw his ERA increase to 6. 70 after allowing six runs (five cleans) in four 0. 33 innings. It is 1-11 in its last 12 decisions dating back to September 2019.
