The St. Louis Cardinals gave up a pair of ninth inning runs during a 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates at Busch Stadium. The game was scoreless heading into the ninth before Connor Joe and Oneil Cruz both drove in runs. Nolan Gorman led off the bottom of the inning with a home run to get St. Louis within a run, but Michael Siani struck out to end the game with the game-tying run at second base. Miles Mikolas struck out six and allowed just one hit over seven scoreless innings during the no-decision, and Ryan Helsley was charged with the loss in relief. The Cards are in last place in the NL Central at 31-and-34. St. Louis sends Sonny Gray to the mound against the Pirates tonight.
