Molina sinks Pirates with Late HR

The Bucco bullpen couldn't hold the lead and lost the game and series to the Cards. Chris Resop gave up the GW Solo-HR in the 8th to Yadier Molina.

Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle: "I was disappointed that we couldn't keep the lead for Kevin (Correia). I was estatic with the season debut of SS Pedro Ciriaco. We are looking for someone to step up and take the starting job. Has Ciriaco done it? We shall see. We must put this behind us and get ready for the Home Opener at PNC Park tomorrow."
