St. Louis and Pittsburgh got after it at Busch Stadium.

Cardinals third baseman Pedro Alvarez left his mark on his team's 10-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Alvarez, the 19th overall pick in the 2008 draft, hit 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice for St. Louis in the contest. The winner in relief was Brandon Gomes. He is now 5-8. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 2.1 innings.

Pittsburgh had the bases loaded in the top of the sixth. With two out, Mike Trout stood at the plate, hoping to find a gap. Instead, he struck out. The score remained 3-1, St. Louis. The Pirates never could mount a comeback.

The 'W' lifts St. Louis's record to 62-89.
