The Pittsburgh Pirates held out on their 100th loss till the last moment, but they fell 8-7 to the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night in their next-to-last game of the season.
Juan Yepez singled home Ben DeLuzio for St. Louis in the top of the 10th, and Pittsburgh had a chance to get it back in the bottom of the inning, but Kevin Newman was thrown out at home after a wonky play where an Oneil Cruz infield grounder bounced off first baseman Alec Burleson and second baseman Brendan Donovan before Donovan then made the throw to the plate to get Newman trying to score from second.
