PITTSBURGH -- Catcher Erik Kratz found out he had been acquired by the Pirates on Friday. He arrived an hour before the Pirates-Cardinals game on Saturday night and took a second to breathe before heading to the video room to study Pittsburgh's relievers and came to the dugout in the fifth inning to get a feel for the team.
Then, catcher Chris Stewart collided with the Cardinals' Jeremy Hazelbaker at the plate in the seventh, irritating an injured left foot that had taken two foul balls off it on Friday and Thursday.
