PITTSBURGH (AP) — Kolten Wong hit the second leadoff home run of his career, Tyler O’Neill added a two-run shot and the St. Louis Cardinals slipped past the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-5 in Game 1 of a doubleheader. After scratching out all of four hits in their previous 18 innings, the Cardinals managed eight in seven innings against Trevor Williams and three Pittsburgh relievers to overcome some sloppy defense.

St. Louis committed four errors, including a catcher’s interference call against nine-time Gold Glover winner Yadier Molina that forced home a run in the first. John Ryan Murphy flied out with the bases loaded to end it.
