That's seven scoreless innings for Mitch Keller. He had a rocky start, but has retired the last 11 batters he's faced. He's up to seven strikeouts. He's thrown 97 pitches, but with a righty bat up before three lefties, might get one more batter. Pirates lead St Louis 1-0.

2-0 Pirates on another RBI single from Tommy Pham. He's 2-3 today.

4-0 Pirates. Isiah Kiner-Falefa brings in two with a two-out RBI single.

Dennis Santana is back. He's coming in for Keller after a long seventh inning. Keller's line: 7.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 Ks. He threw 97 pitches, 61 for strikes, and leaves in line for his second win of the homestand.

Ballgame. The Pirates beat the Cardinals 5-0. The Pirates didn't allow a run in the entire three-game series. The Pirates have won six in a row. In that span, they've outscored opponents 43-4. The Bucs are hot.
