Mathews Shines in Cardinals' Win | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Cardinals crush Pirates 4-1 in a dominant win led by rookie Quinn Mathews’ first major league victory, a five-inning gem with just one run allowed. Jimmy Crooks launched a two-run homer early to spark the offense, and the bullpen—Fernandez, Ferguson, and Stanek—sealed it with precision. The Pirates managed just six hits and one run, while Cardinals improve to 6-2 against division rivals. Kyle Leahy takes the mound today.
