The Pittsburgh Pirates were hoping to sweet the St. Louis Cardinals, but the Cardinals had other thoughts as they beat the Pirates 6-2 on Thursday night. The Pirates were only able to get six hits in the game, and were shut down by Joel Pineiro.
Adam LaRoche was the only Pirates player to record an RBI in the game. LaRoche doubled in the fourth inning to score Ryan Doumit.
Tom Gorzelanny took the loss for the Pirates as he tossed five innings and gave up three runs on only two hits. What hurt Gorzelanny was seven walks. He just couldn’t find the strikezone all night long. Phil Dumatrait came in and pitched two innings while giving up two runs. Franquelis Osoria also pitched two inning and gave up one run.
The Pirates will try to get back on the winning track Friday when they start a series with the Phillies.
