Matt Carpenter's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 11th brought home the winning run as St. Louis outlasted Pittsburgh by a 2-1 count at Busch Stadium.
Peter Bourjos started the deciding frame against Jared Hughes (0-1) with a double, but was caught stealing third. Pete Kozma singled and Jon Jay kept the rally alive on a base hit which put runners on the corners. Carpenter easily plated Kozma with a long fly to left.
