Edman hits game-ending single as Cardinals beat Pirates 5-4
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tommy Edman hit an RBI single within the tenth inning, sending the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
With runners on first and second and one out, Nolan Gorman drove in Paul Goldschmidt with a tying double. Lars Nootbaar was walked deliberately by Wil Crowe (0-1) and rookie Jordan Walker struck out earlier than Edman singled again up the center.
It was Edman’s third profession game-ending hit. He went 2 for five on the day as St. Louis salvaged a cut up of the four-game collection.
Nootbaar hit a two-run homer for the Cardinals, and Nolan Arenado, Willson Contreras and Gorman every had two hits.
Drew VerHagen (1-0) acquired three outs for the win, permitting an unearned run within the high of the tenth on Canaan Smith-Njigba’s groundout to first.
