JT Brubaker - Takes loss despite quality startBrubaker (4-7) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Cardinals after allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while fanning three across six innings.
ImpactBrubaker might have been tagged with his seventh loss of the season, but this was also his third quality start over his last five appearances. The right-hander owns a 3.82 ERA on the season, which is quite good considering the struggles the Pirates have gone through all year long. Brubaker will try to deliver another solid performance in his next start, which is scheduled for next week at home against Milwaukee.

Gregory Polanco - Goes deep against CardinalsPolanco went 1-for-4 with a home run in Saturday's loss against the Cardinals.
ImpactPolanco launched his eighth homer of the season in the fourth inning off Adam Wainwright, but that'd be all the offense Pittsburgh would muster in the entire contest. The veteran outfielder is hitting just .201 on the season, though, so he can't be trusted as a reliable offensive performer on a game-to-game basis.

Paul DeJong - Homers, steals baseDeJong went 1-for-2 with a home run, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Pirates.
ImpactDeJong launched his ninth homer of the season in the second inning against Pittsburgh's starter, JT Brubaker, but he also made his presence felt on the basepaths when he stole his third base of the campaign. The shortstop ended a 12-game homer drought with this solo shot while also improving to 3-for-3 in stolen bases thus far.

Paul Goldschmidt - Socks solo shot SaturdayGoldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Saturday's win over the Pirates.
ImpactGoldschmidt snapped a five-game homer drought with his 11th long ball of the campaign, and the star first baseman has gone deep five times during the current month. Goldschmidt is not repeating the same numbers he's delivered in past seasons, but he remains a reliable offensive presence for the Cardinals. He's hitting .253 on the season, but that number increases to .287 across 80 at-bats this month.
