ST. LOUIS (AP) — Trevor Williams didn’t have his prettiest outing, but he’ll take it.

Adam Frazier opened the game with a homer, Starling Marte drove in the game-winner and Williams allowed one run in seven solid innings as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Friday night.

Marte’s RBI single off of Andrew Miller (1-2) broke a 1-1 tie in the eighth and helped the Pirates snap a two-game skid.

Williams (2-1) stranded seven runners through the first four innings, and pitched around two fielding errors in the fourth inning. He allowed nine hits and limited the Cardinals to one hit in seven at-bats with runners in scoring position.

“You really try to bear down with runners in scoring position, especially in a one-run ballgame,” Williams said. “It’s just pitch execution and trusting your gut and trusting your instincts and trusting your catcher and executing the pitch.”

The Cardinals finished with one hit in nine at-bats with runners in scoring position, one night after getting a whopping 11 hits in that situation. St. Louis lost for the seventh time in nine games.

The only run allowed by Williams was shift-aided. Paul DeJong grounded a slow roller to second, but Frazier was playing on the third base side of the bag and couldn’t get to the ball in time to make a throw. The infield hit scored Yairo Muñoz, tying the game 1-1 in the seventh inning.

YADI HONORED
Molina was presented with the 2018 Roberto Clemente Award before the game for to his humanitarian efforts in his native Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria. Luis Clemente, the second-oldest son of Roberto, and Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith presented the award.

UP NEXT
The Pirates will send RHP Jordan Lyles (2-1, 2.20 ERA) to the mound against the Cardinals and RHP Miles Mikolas (4-2, 4.02 ERA) in the third of a four-game series on Saturday. Lyles gave up one run in a season-high 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision against Oakland on Sunday. Mikolas pitched seven scoreless innings and didn’t walk a batter for the first time this season against Philadelphia on Monday.

The Treynor girls won a State Qualifying Track Meet title and the boys were Runner-Up at Ida-Grove on Friday night. The Cardinals scored 110 points to win the girls half. OA-BCIG was 2nd with 96.

South Central Calhoun edged out the Cardinals for the boys title. The Titans scored 133 points and the Cardinals 131.
