A single by Tim Foli with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning drove home the winning run as the Pirates edged the Cardinals, 5-4. The score was 1-1 when Steve Nicosia began the Pirates' ninth with a single. Matt Alexander, running for Nicosia, advanced to second on a sacrifice by winning pitcher Enrique Romo, reached third on a groundout and scored on Foli's hit to center field. [The Sporting News]
