The Pittsburgh Pirates showcase impressive pitching and defense against the St. Louis Cardinals. Dustin May makes an athletic diving play, and reliever Wilbur Dotel deals high-powered fastballs, contributing to a combined perfect game bid through the early innings. However, Alec Burleson breaks the perfect game in the 7th. In a dramatic turn, rookie JJ Wetherholt smashes a game-tying home run in the 9th inning, bringing the Cardinals back to even.
