Pujols sits as Cards finish season with 5-3 loss to Pirates

The St. Louis Cardinals fell to the Pittsburgh Pirates by a 5-3 Wednesday score from PNC Park.

 

Tommy Edman had three of St. Louis' eight hits. Matthew Liberatore (2-2), recalled from Triple-A Memphis earlier in the day, took the loss after allowing five runs in five innings.

 

Hard-throwing St. Louis reliever Jordan Hicks pitched a scoreless inning in his return from a stint on the injured list due to fatigue in his right (pitching) arm.

 

Hicks can now prepare for the playoffs for the first time after missing the Cardinals' past three postseason appearances due to injury.

 

Kevin Newman, Rodolfo Castro and Ji Hwan Bae drove in runs for Pittsburgh. Manny Banuelos (2-1) picked up the win in relief and Johan Ramirez worked the ninth for his second save of the season - first with the Pirates.
