The Pittsburgh Pirates may look back on last night's game as one to remember if they fall from where they are right now - two games ahead of the Cardinals. They allowed the tying run in the bottom of the ninth on a dropped routine fly ball, and lost in extra frames. Pittsburgh has lost four straight games, and the offense has been unproductive in averaging just 2.5 runs per game in the four losses. Francisco Liriano is off of his worst outing of his career, allowing 10 earned runs his last time out for the Pirates. Shelby Miller has been great for the Cards, as he has allowed more than 3 runs in just 3 of his 22 starts on the season. The Pirates are an unthinkable 92-213 on the road vs. a winning team in their last 305. St. Louis also owns a 7-2 mark in Miller's last nine at home as a favorite. Back St. Louis.
