>>Cardinals Walk-Off Pirates

(St. Louis, MO)  —  Tommy Edman came through in the clutch to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-4 ten-inning victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates at Busch Stadium.  Edman knocked in the game-winning run with a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th.  Nolan Gorman tied the game earlier in the frame with a run-scoring double.  Lars Nootbaar added a home run in the victory, while Drew VerHagen earned his first win in relief.  St. Louis has won two of three.  The Cards are in fourth-place in the NL Central at 7-and-9, and they send Jack Flaherty to the mound against the Diamondbacks tonight.
