The Pirates tied the Cubs, 1-1, in Pittsburgh on Thursday after the game was called due to rain in the sixth inning. It was the Pirates' first tie since August 24, 1998, a 5-5 game against the Cardinals.

The Cardinals beat the Reds, 4-3, in St. Louis on Thursday after Yadier Molina hit a walkoff double in the ninth inning. The win keeps their playoff hopes alive, although they still sit 1.0 game behind the Giants for the second wild card spot.

Pittsburgh has a slight edge in the season series, winning nine of the 16 games between the two this year, including five of seven at St. Louis.

Tyler Glasnow allowed four runs (three earned) in 3.0 innings against the Nationals on Sunday, taking a no decision. The rookie will be making just his fourth start, and is still looking for his first career win. He made his MLB debut against the Cardinals in July, allowing four runs (all earned) in 5.1 innings.

Carlos Martinez allowed just two runs (both earned) in 6.0 innings against the Cubs on Sunday, but was tagged with his ninth loss of the season. Martinez has already posted a career high in wins with 15, with one of those coming against the Pirates -- in his longest start of the season, he went 8.1 innings and allowed just one run in Pittsburgh in June.

In addition to the walkoff double, Molina also hit a home run last night, continuing his big second half. He hit just .259 prior to the All-Star break, but since then has hit .358, the highest second-half number of his career.

ST. LOUIS -- Back in April when the season started, it was easy to expect the Pirates' season-ending trip to Busch Stadium meaning something for both Pittsburgh and the St. Louis Cardinals.
Instead, all Pittsburgh can do when it closes the season is play the role of spoiler against a Cardinals team trying to make its sixth consecutive National League playoff appearance.

Pirates out to spoil Cardinals' wild-card bid

ST. LOUIS (AP)  Carlos Martinez pitched seven sharp innings, Jedd Gyorko hit his 29th homer, Brandon Moss homered to break out of a big slump and the St. Louis Cardinals stayed in the middle of the NL wild-card race.
All that, but the most memorable moment in the Cardinals' 7-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on a rainy Friday night was provided by Matt Holliday.
