ST. LOUIS — — Tommy Edman hit an RBI single in the 10th 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 intentionally and rookie Jordan Walker struck out before Edman singled back up the middle.
It was Edman’s third career game-ending hit. He went 2 for 5 on the day as St. Louis salvaged a split of the four-game series.
Nootbaar hit a two-run homer for the Cardinals in the sixth, and Nolan Arenado, Willson Contreras and Gorman each had two hits.
Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas was charged with three runs, two earned, and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings, a no-decision. Drew VerHagen gets credit for the win.
The Cardinals begin a three game series at home against Arizona Monday, 5:50 with the pregame and the first pitch at 6:45 on KIRX.
