The Pittsburgh Pirates were able to jump out to an early 3-1 lead, but the lead didn't last long. In the fifth inning, Jeff Locke began the inning by walking two batters, which would come back to haunt the Pirates. The Cardinals would score three runs in that inning to gain and preserve the lead. Starling Marte collected two hits, after struggling over the weekend.
Fantasy Impact:
Starling Marte is a great fantasy player because he has clean-up hitter power and he can steal bases with ease. Marte is a rare breed, and he needs to be on your fantasy team. He should be an automatic starter no matter the opponent.
