Even in the rain, Chad Kuhl delivered.
The right-hander outlasted a one hour, 56 minute mid-game rain delay and was even stronger afterward, tossing five innings of one-run baseball Saturday as the Pirates snapped their six-game losing streak with a 6-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals at PNC Park.
The Pirates offense, which mounted a late seven-run rally in a one-run loss Friday, showed up earlier Saturday. Pittsburgh collected 12 hits. Adam Frazier singled, doubled and homered. Starling Marte homered and had two singles, his fifth consecutive multiple-hit game. Jose Osuna added insurance with a pinch-hit home run in the sixth inning.
