The Pittsburgh Pirates were defeated 3-2 by the St. Louis Cardinals in 10 innings on the Fourth of July after Dennis Santana surrendered a pair of runs in the extra frame at PNC Park.

Automatic runner Michael Siani advanced to third when José Fermín opened the top of the 10th with a ground out to second base.
