Adam Wainwright pitched 7 innings, allowed 9 hits, 4 Runs, all earned, no walks, 4 Strikeouts, which puts him at a 5.14 ERA. Jonathan Broxton came in the 8th for an inning, allowing 1 hit, 1 run, earned, no walks, 1 Strikeout, putting him at a 9 ERA. Mark Melancon notched the save for the Pirates. The Pirates scored 3 on an Inside the Park HR to Starling Marte, a Homer by John Jaso, and a run scored on an error.
