ST. LOUIS —A beautiful night @ Busch. Yea summer!

Ninth Inning – PIT John Jaso hit a homer off Oh No! and concluded see-saw game: 3-4. Playing the Pirates is always serious stuff (but it’s only June, okay). We had been up 0-3 against PIT going into this match-up.

It was another one of those nights. A costly error that involved former Cardinal, David Freese tied the game in the fourth. Freese also tied the game in the eighth. Does he cause tension when he’s at Busch? Still pretty dangerous.

PIT Gregory Polanco made a couple of awesome diving catches for the Bucs – game savers (rats!) in such a close contest. We’re tied with Pittsburgh for third place in a close Central Division.

RHP Adam Wainwright started and was a strong Waino – 7 solid innings, 5 Ks. It was a gem; a quality start. All his pitches looked good — especially Uncle Charlie (his curve ball). He pitched in his ninth straight game against PIT.

“It was 10 steps above everything,” Wainwright said of the outing, which followed three starts in which he allowed a combined 20 earned runs in 10 1/3 innings. “When you have a couple games like I had, you have to look back and figure out what the problem is. Command-wise, that’s always been something that has been my strength. I’ve had way too many misses all year long.”

Friday was the 11th sell-out at Busch — 47,112 this season.

SHORT HOME STAND CONTINUES. Game Two of PIT series is Saturday @ 6:15 pm CDT RHP Lance Lynn will get the ball in this match-up. On Lancer! Lynn is looking for a bounce-back game. Lancer has not six innings in five starts. Sunday Series Finale is 1:15 pm CDT.

Monday make-up game vs CIN @ 3:15 pm CDT.
