The Pirates take a two games to one lead in the NLDS with a 5 – 3 win over St. Louis at home. Pedro Alvarez drives in the go-ahead run in the 8th after Carlos Beltran twice ties the score for the Cards, with a two-run single in the 5th, and a solo homer off Mark Melancon in the top of the 8th. The homer is the 16th in postseason play for Beltran, and he now only trails Mickey Mantle, with 18, in that category.
