- Mikes Mikolas thew his second career shutout and Tyler O'Neill drove in four runs with his first two-homer game in the majors as the Cardinals beat the Pirates 7-0 on Monday night at Busch Stadium. Their third consecutive win moved them into second place in the NL Central for the first time since May 7.

- Mikolas continued a streak of dominating outings by Cardinals' starters, who have allowed only four combined runs in their last five games, covering 35 2/3 innings. He scattered eight hits and did not walk a batter for the third consecutive start.

- O'Neill, playing because of an injury to Marcell Ozuna, has three homers and nine RBIs in his last three games.

- Jack Flaherty will get the start tonight in the second game of the series.
