Matheny wants Heyward to stay aggressive

It's a play that may or may not have impacted the end result on Thursday. But Cardinals right fielder Jason Heyward was visibly upset with himself after being thrown out by Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutcheon while trying to go from first to third on Yadier Molina's one-out single that drove in the Cards' first two runs in the first inning Thursday.

Pittsburgh was up 7-0 at the time and eventually won 10-5.

"By the time he got from here to the other end of the dugout, I heard probably five different people tell him to stay aggressive,'' Cards manager Mike Matheny said.
