Cervelli helps Pirates rally for 6-2 win over Cardinals
By ALAN SAUNDERS, Associated Press
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Francisco Cervelli homered in the second inning and delivered a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the sixth, helping the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-2 on Saturday night.
The Pirates scored twice in the sixth, twice in the seventh and once in the eighth while erasing a 2-1 deficit. They also rallied for a 6-5 victory over the Cardinals on Friday night.
St. Louis right-hander Jack Flaherty (0-1) started the sixth inning with back-to-back walks before being lifted for Dominic Leone. Josh Bell hit an RBI single and Cervelli’s fly ball to center scored Starling Marte to give Pittsburgh its first lead of the game.
The Pirates added on against the Cardinals’ bullpen in the seventh. Pinch-hitter David Freese had a sacrifice fly and Corey Dickerson singled in Sean Rodriguez.
Colin Moran scored on Jose Martinez’s error on a Gregory Polanco grounder in the eighth.
Cervelli got Pittsburgh on the board with his fourth homer in the second inning. He hit five all of last year.
Pirates starter Trevor Williams (4-1) pitched six innings of two-run ball. Michael Feliz, George Kontos and Edgar Santana combined for three scoreless innings in relief.
Flaherty was charged with three runs and four hits. The rookie right-hander struck out two and walked four.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Pirates: RHP Joe Musgrove (shoulder strain) will make his first rehab start with Class A Bradenton on Tuesday. He’s expected to throw three innings. Musgrove has been on the disabled list since March 30. . 2B Josh Harrison (hand fracture) took infield practice with a modified glove. He’s still expected to be about a month away from returning.
UP NEXT
Cardinals: Luke Weaver (2-1, 4.85 ERA) will start the series finale Sunday. Weaver has given up 10 runs over his last two starts after allowing four total in his first three outings of the season.
Pirates: RHP Nick Kingham is expected to be recalled from the minors for his major league debut. Kingham was 2-1 with a 1.59 ERA in four starts with Triple-A Indianapolis.

Dorothy Gale said it best; “there’s no place like home”.
Now while Dorothy won’t be detouring through Midland on the way to Emerald City, 8 other casts of characters will be parading through “You’re Home”, the 2018-19 Highmark Subscription Series at the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center announced Friday afternoon in front of a packed–and raucous–crowd of students, faculty, and local representatives alike.
The series will kick off with “Sweeney Todd”, the classic tale of the revenge-driven barber, which runs three weekends from October 5-7 through 19-21. Two Christmas shows will be included, as “Miracle on 34th Street” and “The Nutcracker” will be part of the Series in late November and early December. The other five shows for the Subscription Series include: “Addams Family: Young @ Part”, “Snow White: The Ballet”, “The Three Musketeers”, “Singin’ In The Rain”, and “In The Heights”.
The student-majority crowd loudly signaled their approval of next year’s productions, and one of the reasons is the variety of styles that will be displayed, so says senior Allie Raggazini:
One of the featured performers was Amanda Gross, who is currently starring in “Big Fish” currently in its last weekend, and will be starring in “In The Heights”, the final musical in the Series set to premiere on June 24, 2019. Gross says that her multi-tasking style is fit to such a hectic repertoire:
Of course, many of the students are hoping for a chance to participate in the shows for the Highmark Series, and one may wonder how a student can focus on academics and rehearsals all into one. Lincoln Park student Elijah Groves talked about his philosophy on such a conflict:
