ST. LOUIS -- See that photo up there?
That's it. That's the column.
And that, for anyone who spared themselves the bulk of the Pirates' 9-1 burial at the Cardinals' hands Saturday at Busch Stadium, was the third-string catcher working a full-count, bases-loaded walk in the second inning to account for all of the offense on this afternoon.
Here's the full sequence:
• Josh Bell singled sharply.
• Colin Moran singled sharply.
• Phillip Evans was hit by a pitch to load the bases with nobody out.
