Wainwright bounces back, but Cards fall late

ST. LOUIS -- One inning after David Freese added another game-tying, two-out hit to his Busch Stadium resume, John Jaso capped the Pirates' comeback with a solo homer that stood as the difference in Pittsburgh's 4-3 win.

The back-and-forth affair was nothing new for these two teams; they played a trio of one-run games at Busch Stadium earlier this year. The difference, however, was who won this one. With their victory Friday, the Pirates snapped their seven-game losing streak at Busch Stadium.

Held hitless over the final four innings of Adam Wainwright's start, the Pirates' offense found some life against the two relievers who have been the Cardinals' most reliable this season.
