Cards can’t stop Alvarez, Pirates

August 30, 2012 By Bill Pollock

Pittsburgh third baseman Pedro Alvarez hit his 26th homer of the season and drove in three runs as the Pirates shutout the Cardinals for a second game in a row, this time a 5-0 final. Alvarez’s three-run shot in the third off Joe Kelly gave him seven home runs and 23 RBI in 15 games against the Cardinals.

Wandy Rodriguez (9-13) worked six innings for Pittsburgh to pick up his first victory as a starter since being acquired in a trade last month. Rodriguez walked three and struck out three while helping the Pirates shut out the Cardinals for the second straight night.

Joe Kelly (4-6) struggled with control problems during five innings, giving up five runs on eight hits. Trevor Rosenthal, recalled on Wednesday, pitched the final three innings.
