Pirates Score Four in 10th, Beat Cardinals 8-4

Ronny Paulino drove in the go-ahead run in a four-run 10th inning for his second crucial hit in the Pittsburgh Pirates' 8-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night. Troy Glaus hit a three-run home run and Albert Pujols tied it with his eighth in the eighth for the Cardinals, extending his hitting streak to 12 games.

Pujols, who had a day off on Monday, also walked twice and has reached base in all 40 games. It's the majors' longest streak at the start of the season since Derek Jeter's 53-game run in 1999 for the Yankees. Adam LaRoche added a three-run double off Ron Villone (1-1) in the 10th for the Pirates, who have won seven of eight and are one game below .500. (More baseball stories.)
