ST. LOUIS (AP) — More than a month into the season, the St. Louis Cardinals finally lost a series. Given the personnel they’ve lost, it’s been a remarkable start.
The Cardinals finally got a break Monday after playing 20 consecutive games, going 14-6 during a stretch that began with a healthy ace, setup man and top hitter and concluded without all three. They own the best record in the majors at 22-9 despite losing Adam Wainwright for the season with a torn Achilles tendon, shutting down Jordan Walden due to biceps and shoulder woes and giving Matt Carpenter a break due to fatigue and dehydration.
The Cardinals could be closer to getting a long-term replacement for Wainwright, although lefty Tyler Lyons will remain in the rotation for at least one more start.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jung Ho Kang went 2 for 4 with a home run and two RBIs and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 Sunday. The Cardinals dropped two of three in Pittsburgh, their first series loss of the season. With the game tied 3-3, Kang hit a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning. Kang hit his second home run of the season in the first inning, a shot to left field off a 0-2 fastball left over the middle of the plate from St. Louis left-hander Tyler Lyons.
Kang’s home run gave Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead. The Pirates added a run in the fourth when Starling Marte reached on an infield single and advanced to third when Lyons’ throw went wide of first base. Jordy Mercer hit a line drive that Matt Reynolds couldn’t handle at third, allowing Marte to score for a 2-0 Pirates lead.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jordy Mercer broke out of a deep slump with a go-ahead two-run double and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-5 on Saturday night.
Mercer, who began the day hitting .186, sent a fastball off the wall in center field with one out in the sixth to give the Pirates the lead. Mercer finished with three RBIs, nearly doubling his season total.
Neil Walker added his second homer and the Pirates ended a seven-game losing streak to the Cardinals. Rob Scahill (1-2) earned the win in relief. Mark Melancon worked a perfect ninth for his sixth save.
Jhonny Peralta and Jason Heyward had two hits each. Both were on base in the second inning when Yadier Molina hit into the franchise’s first triple play in nearly 12 years. Carlos Martinez (3-1) picked up his first loss.
