The St. Louis Cardinals rode a four-run sixth inning to victory as they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-3, Friday night at PNC Park.
Greg Brown has a full recap.
The Pirates and Cardinals return to the diamond for game two of their weekend slate tonight. Lefty Jose Quintana (1-1, 2.19 ERA) looks to post another quality start for the Bucs.
Meanwhile, Matthew Liberatore, the Cardinals’ first round pick in 2018, will make his MLB debut for St. Louis.
Airtime is 6:10 p.m. on WCCS 101.1 FM and AM 1160.
MLB:
Former Pirates pitcher Trevor Cahill signed a minor league contract yesterday with the New York Mets, who’ve been dealt a rough hand with pitchers this year.
Cahill, 34, pitched just 37 innings for the Pirates last year before a broken foot sidelined him for the season. He posted a 6.57 ERA with a below-league-average 19.3 groundball percentage.
The 12-year MLB veteran will be assigned to Triple-A Syracuse in the coming days.
