The St. Louis Cardinals haven't had any luck at PNC Park the Home of the Pittsburgh Pirates and it continued in a pivotal game three in the NLDS. The Buccos win 5-3 after Redbirds OF Carlos Beltran went O-Zone Layer hitting in all three RBI including a Solo Bomb in the top half of the 8th. The Buccos get two in the bottom of the eighth behind "El Toro" Pedro Alvarez and Russell Martin to win the ball game and put the Redbirds in elimination game in game four.

Both Starters were chased by the six innings. Redbirds Joe Kelly allowed three runs on five hits as he walked four and struck out five. Pirates Starter Francisco Liriano allowed two runs on three hits as he struck out five and walked two in six innings. Both pens scatters runs as the Redbirds Pen was hit the hardest. The Redbirds Misery continues at PNC for 2K13 and to stay alive and take a deciding game five they must get the elimination game four or they go home for 2013.

The Buccos are in a good position but they must close the Redbirds and to close out a Ball Club it will take an extra extra effort. The Buccos lead 2-1 in the best of five series as Game 4 on Monday October 7 at 3pm ET features Redbirds Michael Wacha and the Pirates going with Charlie Morton.
