PITTSBURGH -- After four hours in the rain and with his team down to its fourth first baseman, Josh Harrison wasnt going to be patient. Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale. With the winning run at second and two outs in the bottom of the 12th at soggy PNC Park, Harrison didnt pass up a first-pitch fastball from Fernando Rodriguez. Harrison pulled a liner to left, driving in Clint Barmes and giving the Pittsburgh Pirates a 3-2 win over the Houston Astros on Sunday. "Pitchers really arent going to fool around in that situation," Harrison said. "Theyre going to try to attack the zone. Anytime youve got the winning run in scoring position, if youve got a pitch to hit, you dont want to let it go." Harrisons first hit in four at-bats Sunday capped a Pirates comeback that included a ninth-inning rally against Houston closer Brett Myers and gave them their fourth win in six games. With two outs and no one on in the 12th, Houston manager Brad Mills went to Rodriguez (1-4) to face Barmes. Barmes doubled to left and scored on the next pitch, sliding under the tag of Jason Castro, who received a high throw from Justin Maxwell. "Its a lot of fun to score that kind of run," said Barmes, Pittsburghs regular shortstop who in the top of the inning manned first base for the first time in his career. The inning before that, Pirates starting catcher Rod Barajas made his first appearance at the position since July 9, 2008. "My mentality has always been to win the game in nine innings -- after that, all bets were off," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "We were trying out first baseman. One of them actually played there before, too. "It was a good team win. Everybody threw something in; everybody needed to do something." Tony Watson (3-0) pitched a perfect 12th to earn the win, following a hitless inning each from Jason Grilli, Joel Hanrahan and Juan Cruz. Starter A.J. Burnett allowed two runs on six hits in eight innings for the Pirates, who got two hits from Neil Walker. Due largely to eight dominant innings from starter Wandy Rodriguez, the Astros were on the verge of winning a road series for the first time since June 17-19, 2011. But Pittsburgh tied it in the ninth when Jose Tabata scored on a Pedro Alvarez sacrifice fly after Pittsburgh loaded the bases with no outs against Myers, who blew his first save in 10 opportunities. "I made a good pitch on Alvarez," Myers said. "I thought it was a strike, (umpire Jim Reynolds) called it a ball, then the sacrifice fly the next pitch. Thats the way it goes sometimes. Some calls go our way; sometimes they dont. I mean, I shouldnt have ever been in that situation." The start of the game was delayed 29 minutes, and a light rain persisted throughout the majority of the afternoon. Walker and Andrew McCutchen each hit one-out doubles to right in the first, giving the Pirates a 1-0 lead. Two batters later, Casey McGehee walked. The only other baserunner Wandy Rodriguez would allow was a leadoff single by Alvarez in the fourth, but he was erased when Yamaico Navarro grounded into a double play. Wandy Rodriguez had seven strikeouts to give him 31 in his past three outings against Pittsburgh. He retired the final 14 batters he faced. Despite conceding that "he still had plenty of pitches to go," Mills lifted Rodriguez after throwing 94 pitches, citing the hot bats of Tabata and McCutchen that were due up. "It was the right thing to do to get (Myers)," Mills said. "Weather-wise and mound-wise, it was tough." Carlos Lee had two hits and scored both Astros runs, and Castro had two hits and an RBI for Houston, which has lost five of seven. Burnett almost matched Rodriguez. He did not walk a batter and had four strikeouts. Torched for 12 runs in 2 2-3 innings May 2, Burnett has allowed a total of five runs in his other four starts combined.

LOUIS -- Ryan Dempsters winless streak is now at 15 starts. But the Chicago Cubs took a step forward with their luckless pitcher. "Its all right. Baby steps," Dempster said after the Cubs sent the St. Louis Cardinals to their fourth straight loss at home with a 6-4 victory on Monday night. "We got a win when I started a game." Alfonso Soriano singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and Bryan LaHair had three hits, including a two-run homer -- his ninth overall and fourth against the Cardinals -- to break a 1-for-14 slump. Chicagos runs in the eighth and ninth innings came too late for Dempster, whose last victory was Aug. 16 against the Nationals. Shawn Camp (2-1) allowed one hit in two innings of work and Rafael Dolis worked the ninth for his fourth save in six chances for the Cubs, who won for only the fourth time in their last 13 games in St. Louis despite stranding a season-worst 14 runners. Jake Westbrook became the latest Cardinals starter who couldnt pitch deep into the game, allowing four runs on 11 hits in five innings. Of the other four pitchers during this run through the St. Louis rotation, only rookie Lance Lynn lasted six innings. "I didnt feel any added pressure, I put that on me every night no matter what the situation is," Westbrook said. "I just didnt get the job done." The Cardinals got swept by Atlanta over the weekend and hadnt lost four straight at home since a five-game skid Aug. 14-20, 2010. "Over the course of the season youre going to have little ruts where youre not getting the breaks and when youre not playing well that compounds the problem," Lance Berkman said. "This teams got a lot of character. We knew it wasnt going to be smooth sailing the whole year." Dempster gave up four hits over the first five innings before surrendering four runs on five hits in the sixth that tied it 4-4. Three of Dempsters first five innings were perfect and he retired 10 of 11 batters from the second to the fifth inning -- totalling just 27 pitches. Sorianos go-ahead RBI single off Mitchell Boggs (0-1) salvaged the Cubs eighth after the Cardinals turned an unusual 3-5-4 double play earlier in the inning. Berkman, the first baseman, fielded Starlin Castros popped-up bunt and threw to third to force David DeJesus, then David Freeses relay to first was there in plenty of time to get Castro. The Cubs still had Tony&nnbsp;Campana on second, and after La Hair was intentionally walked, Sorianos first hit in 10 career at-bats against Boggs -- seven of them strikeouts -- gave them the lead. Mike Miller Jersey "It wasnt a scalded dog, it just got out of the infield," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Its just where we are right now, were just going to have to fight." Freeses wild throw to first in a bid for a double play on another bunt allowed an insurance run to score in the ninth against Boggs. The Cardinals committed a season-high three errors, two in the ninth. Dempster entered with a majors-best 1.02 ERA, the lowest for a Cubs pitcher winless through the first five starts since the NL began tracking earned runs in 1912. He is 0-1 mainly because the Cubs have totalled just eight runs combined in his starts. The Cardinals got to Dempster after the Cubs four-run sixth, and the right-hander exited with a 1.74 ERA. LaHairs two-run homer was the highlight of the Cubs four-run fifth, and he added a pair of singles and his first career steal in the seventh. "I just wanted to slow things down," LaHair said. "I came off a rough series and I just wanted to get back on track and hit the ball hard and help the team." Yadier Molinas two-run double and Skip Schumakers tying RBI single were the key hits in the Cardinals four-run sixth. Schumaker is a career .431 hitter against Dempster, the best ever against the right-hander with a minimum of 30 at-bats, according to STATS LLC. One of the early hits in the rally was Matt Hollidays liner off the left-field wall that gave Soriano a perfect rebound to hold him to a single. NOTES: The Cardinals Carlos Beltran, who entered with six homers in six games and a NL-leading 13, did not start due to knee soreness and Matheny wasnt sure whether Beltran would be in the lineup for the finale of the two-game series Tuesday afternoon. Beltran is 6 for 12 against Dempster with a homer and three RBIs. ... The three-hit game was LaHairs third of the season, matching his career best. He has reached base safely in 31 consecutive games and is 8 for 19 with eight RBIs against the Cardinals. Berkman has reached safely in a major-league high 33 games. ... The Cubs have scored three or fewer runs when Dempster was in the game 13 times during his winless drought. ... Rafael Furcal was 0 for 5, ending a 12-game hitting streak in which he batted .510 (25 for 49) with two homers. ' ' '
