Now Im back on track and ready for the next one.Matheny was happy with what he saw from Leake, who allowed back-to-back RBI singles to Gregory Polanco and Kang in the first inning when the Pirates sent seven men to the plate.He had a stressful first inning but then he got some momentum and pitched pretty well after that, Matheny said. Overall, I thought his stuff was good.Pirates starter Jameson Taillon pitched five innings. The rookie gave up two runs, six hits and a walk with five strikeouts.The Cardinals Yadier Molina scored in the sixth to make it 3-3.
