Braxton Ashcraft (3-2) struck out nine in seven innings. He gave
up one run on four hits and two walks.
The Pirates won their fourth consecutive road series against
National League Central opponents.
Ozuna, a former Cardinal, singled with one out to score Spencer
Horwitz and Griffin, extending the lead to 4-1 in the sixth.
Henry Davis hit a leadoff homer in the seventh and Bryan
Reynolds drove in a run with a ground out, making it 6-1.
Lowe, who also singled, hit a 3-2 fastball that bounced off the
top of the wall just inside the left-field foul pole in the
first inning. It was originally declared an inside-the-park home
run before the stat was changed by the scorer.
The Pirates went ahead 2-1 in the fourth inning. Griffin scored
on a fielder’s choice by Jake Mangum.
A two-out home run by Iván Herrera in the third inning tied the
score at 1-1. Herrera also scored in the eighth on a single by
