Harrison's clutch HR not enough as Cards rally

ST. LOUIS -- Josh Harrison may spend much of his remaining time with the Pirates as he did the past week and a half: in the dugout, resting his sore left hamstring, looking on as the club evaluates its middle-infield options for next year and beyond.

But Harrison was not content to watch on Monday night at Busch Stadium. Making his first start of September, Harrison clubbed a home run that put the Pirates back on top after an off night -- one bad inning, really -- for Trevor Williams. But the Cardinals rallied for an 8-7 win, as Matt Adams launched a three-run homer during an equally unusual misstep by reliever Edgar Santana.
