Pirates take lead against Cardinals
Print Edition
Pedro Alvarez hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St Louis Cardinals 5-3 on Sunday to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five NL division series.
The Dodgers took a 2-1 lead in their series against Atlanta with a 13-6 rout in Los Angeles.
Carl Crawford hit a three-run homer and Juan Uribe added a two-run shot, while Hanley Ramirez and Yasiel Puig each had three hits and scored three times as the Dodgers made quick work of the Braves.
Los Angeles can advance to the NL championship series with a victory at home in Game 4. Ricky Nolasco pitches for the Dodgers against veteran Freddy Garcia.
“It was a total team effort,” Crawford said.
“That’s what it’s going to take: 25 guys to do the job and come together and play well.”
Charlie Morton is set to start in Game 4 for the Pirates, who took a series lead after Alvarez pulled a grounder into right field that scored pinch-runner Josh Harrison from second base. Russell Martin followed with a sharp RBI single against reliever Kevin Siegrist.
