Pedro Pages singled on the first pitch he saw, Masyn Winn followed one batter later with a sharp single to left and Victor Scott II hit the first triple of his big league career on a shot to deep right-center field that scored two. Scott then trotted home on Brendon Donovan's run-scoring base hit.

To jump out to an early lead vs. Pirates ace Paul Skenes, the Cardinals did "a lot of the little things well" in a 5-3 win Tuesday at PNC Park.
