Marte's walk-off hit in 11th caps thrilling rally

PITTSBURGH -- Down by three entering the bottom of the ninth, the Pirates ruined Cardinals closer Greg Holland's first save opportunity by storming back to tie the game. Starling Marte's single to center in the 11th inning capped Pittsburgh's thrilling comeback, sending the Bucs to a 6-5 victory -- their second straight walk-off win -- on Friday night at PNC Park.

Corey Dickerson led off the ninth with a double. Francisco Cervelli singled, and Cardinals first baseman Jose Martinez whiffed on Colin Moran's routine ground ball.
