ST. LOUIS, May 19 (UPI) -- Joel Pineiro pitched his first shutout since 2003 with a three-hitter Tuesday to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 3-0 win over the Chicago Cubs.

Pineiro (5-3) didn't allow a walk and retired the final 13 batters he faced. It was the fourth career shutout and 10th complete game for the 30-year-old right-hander.

Colby Rasmus hit a two-run homer for the second straight game for the Cardinals. Yadier Molina drove in the other St. Louis run.

Mike Fontenot had a double for the only extra-base hit for the Cubs. Losing pitcher Ted Lilly (5-3) allowed three runs on four hits in seven innings.
