ST. LOUIS — The Pittsburgh Pirates (9-6) will finish their four-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals (6-9) with a chance to take the series on Sunday.

The Pirates battled through nine full innings and got the boost they needed after a two-run blast from Andrew McCutchen in the top of the 10th to secure at least a series split with a 6-3 victory.

Roansy Contreras battled through six strong innings despite a rough first inning and not his best stuff throughout most of the game.

First pitch is expected to be at 2:15 p.m.
