After pulling off an extra innings (F/8) win in game one, 4-3, the Pittsburgh Pirates looked to keep the ball rolling.
With Cody Ponce (0-1) on the mound, the Pirates looked to hand Johan Oviedo (0-0) and the St. Louis Cardinals their second consecutive loss.
In the top of the third inning, Pittsburgh plated two runs, going up 2-0. Erik Gonzalez singled in JT Riddle before Adam Frazier singled in John Ryan Murphy. That would be the totality of the offense from either team.
