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.

Lavon and Miss NiNi talk about making a special crisp recipe.

RHUBARB MANDARIN CRISP—Rachael Vandendool, Barry’s Bay, ON as printed in Taste of Home Five Star Desserts

Ingredients:

6 c. chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb

1-1/2 c. granulated sugar

5 T. quick-cooking tapioca **

1, 11-oz. can mandarin oranges, drained

1 c. brown sugar

1 c. quick-cooking oats

½ c. all-purpose flour

½ t. salt

½ c. cold butter, cubed

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, toss the rhubarb, sugar, and tapioca; let stand for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Top with oranges. In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, flour, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle evenly over oranges. Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Serve with ice cream if desired.

NOTE: If using frozen rhubarb, measure it while still frozen; then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press the liquid out.

**May SUBSTITUTE all-purpose flour or cornstarch for tapioca. According to joyofbaking.com, 1 T. quick-cooking tapioca equates with 1-1/2 T. all-purpose flour. Two Tablespoons all-purpose flour equates with 1 T. cornstarch. Therefore, if substituting all-purpose flour or cornstarch for the 5 T. quick-cooking tapioca in this recipe, one would use either 7-1/2 T. all-purpose flour or a shy 4 T. cornstarch.
