Cardinals Edge Pirates 7-6 on Burleson Walk-Off Homer

The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 8-3 on Tuesday night, with Bryan Reynolds continuing his impressive hitting streak by adding two doubles and reaching safely in seven consecutive games. Reynolds has accumulated 34 doubles this season, tying for third most in the majors, while Henry Davis contributed a solo home run during the game. Mitch Keller earned the win for the Pirates, striking out nine over six innings, while Cardinals pitcher Andre Pallante struggled, allowing eight runs in five innings. The previous day, Alec Burleson hit a walk-off solo homer to lift the Cardinals to a 7-6 victory over the Pirates, marking his 16th home run of the season and highlighting his strong recent performance with 17 hits and eight RBIs over ten games. The Cardinals experienced a tense moment with ejections of catcher Willson Contreras and manager Oliver Marmol after a disagreement with the umpire, but a key defensive play by shortstop Masyn Winn helped maintain control late in the game. Overall, the Pirates have won five of their last six games, while the Cardinals continue to battle for momentum in their season.
