Cards pack 2B punch, tie Bucs for 3rd in Central

The Cardinals mashed their way to victory behind 14 hits on Saturday against the Pirates. Jose Martinez — a late addition to the lineup — doubled twice, and Jedd Gyorko followed each time with an RBI double. Jordy Mercer and Adam Frazier jolted Pittsburgh with clutch RBI hits in the fourth inning, but the Bucs’ bats went silent against the St. Louis bullpen. Matt Carpenter put a bow on the win with a solo home run in the ninth inning.
