A triple by Dave Parker keyed a two-run sixth inning that carried the Pirates to a 3-1 triumph over the Cardinals, the Redbirds' first setback of the season after three straight victories. The Pirates trailed, 1-0, entering the bottom of the sixth when Omar Moreno led off with a base on balls. Parker followed with a triple to left and then scored on a double by John Milner.
