ST. LOUIS (AP) Jordy Mercer and Josh Harrison homered and starter Gerrit Cole pitched six innings, lifting the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 7-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals Saturday night. Cole extended his winning streak to three games, allowing five hits and one run with five strikeouts and two walks. Slumping St. Louis has dropped eight of its last 11.
The Cardinals will look to avoid getting swept as Mike Leake gets the start, and Pittsburgh will go with Chad Kuhl. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05. Sunday’s game can be heard on KTLO-AM. The Ameren Pregame Show begins at 6:10.
