Have the tides turned? The Pittsburgh Pirates went blaring into Wrigley Field and swept the media darling Cubs only to arrive flying high into Busch Stadium. What looked to be a sure-fire sweep of the limping St. Louis Cardinals proved to be the exact opposite with the Cards being the victors.
Three games were played from Monday to Wednesday with the winning run being decided by only one greater home plate pass than the other team, namely that the St. Louis Cardinals scored two runs in each game this week while holding the Pirates to only one run.
