1919 NL - Games of Monday, 23 June

Pirates 9, Cardinals 2: Carson Bigbee had four hits in a game for the sixth time in the campaign and Vic Saier drove home four runs as Pittsburgh buried St Louis in the second half of their tilt at Robison Field. The Pirates led by a score of just 2-0 as the game headed into its fifth inning (one of those runs coming on Bigbee's 1st homer of the season), but Saier and Bigbee combined to stretch the lead in the 5th; Saier led off with a single, pitcher Frank Miller looped a base hit with one away, and Bigbee followed with an RBI single. Miller scored when Milt Stock couldn't field Casey Stengel's two-out ground ball. After the club exchanged runs, Pittsburgh piled up five singles in the 7th (Bigbee and Saier each collecting another) to score three more times to put the game away. Miller (5-3) allowed seven hits and walked none, while striking out six. [box]
