Pirates 3, Cardinals 2  (39-32)

Pirates starter Ray Kremer shutdown the Cardinals through eighth innings and by the time the Redbirds mounted a comeback in the ninth, the Pirates had a big enough cushion to where it didn’t matter. Pete Alexander took the loss and he gave up two runs on seven hits in seven innings of work. 

Bob O’Farrell drove in both Cardinals run in the ninth inning.  Jim Bottomley and Billy Southworth scored the runs and Specs Toporcer had two hits.
