In raining on the Cardinals snow-filled Opening Day parade, the Pirates scored five of their six runs on two hits, each coming on a pitcher’s count. Nyjer Morgan (career GPA: .257) slapped a two-run single in the sixth on a 1-2 count from lefty Trever Miller, and Jack Wilson (career GPA: .234) hit the game-winning three-run double on an 0-2 count in the ninth. Were the Cardinals simply unlucky? Perhaps. But even subpar major-league hitters have their strengths, and Morgan and Wilson made Cardinal pitchers pay for not respecting theirs.
