Joey Bart’s walk-off single to deep left field for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the St. Louis Cardinals settled a 2-1 pitchers’ duel at PNC Park on Wednesday afternoon.
With Isiah Kiner-Falefa standing on second as the automatic runner, Cardinals reliever Chris Roycroft (0-2) issued back-to-back walks to load the bases for Andrew McCutchen, who bounced into a force play at home.
