It
Was In The Cards
June 2008 St. Louis, MO - It seems that the cards dealt to
St. Louis by their division rivals was a pair of aces in Steve Cain
and Pat Miller as the Pittsburgh Pirates completed the sweep of
the World Series Defendanding champs in a three game series at Busch
Stadium. The Pirates are now 5-1 against the Red Birds this season.

Steve Cain has won 10 games over the last year and
a half with the Pirates |
Pat Miller catches Cardinal Willard Cruz looking |
The second game of the series
featured and return for one player of some sort. Rookie pitcher Pat
Miller was traded to the Pirates from St. Louis just before the season
started and has been the most realiable starter on his new team. Miller
didn't end up with the win but he still pitched well, scattering 6
hits and 2 walks over 6 innings while only giving up 2 runs. George
Lewis ended up with the victory in the 3-2 victory for the Pirates. So far this season Miller is 7-2, tied for 4th in the National League, and sports a 2.95 ERA which also tags him at 4th. The 24 year old pitcher never pitched in the majors during his stay with the Cardinals. Steve Cain hasn't gotten off to as good as a start that Miller has, going 4-4 with a 4.35 ERA. Cain started his career in Toronto with the Blue Jays and was signed by the Pirates before the 2007 season. He went 6-6 in his first season as a Pirate and had a 3.72 ERA. |
