The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-0 last night at PNC Park.

The Pirates managed just two hits, with first baseman Colin Moran collecting both. Wil Crowe started for the Pirates, and allowed one run on four hits while pitching into the fifth inning.

Burnes ended the night with 15 strikeouts over eight innings.
