Mize Hits 2 home runs in Pirates Win
Pittsburgh defeated St. Louis, 8-2, in large part due to 33-year old first baseman Johnny Mize. Mize drove in 3 runs. The first baseman had 1 double and 2 home runs for the Pirates. Schoolboy Rowe got the win, improving to 1-0. He held the Cardinals to 2 runs on 6 hits over 9 innings, while striking out 2 and walking 1. Pittsburgh, with the win, is 3-0.

Pittsburgh took advantage of an error in the top of the seventh inning. The game was tied, 2-2, when Johnny Wyrostek hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Pirates in front, 3-2.

Mize called the win "a collective effort."
