Pittsburgh's Jacob Stallings hit a walkoff home run off Andrew Chafin and the Pirates snapped a five-game losing streak.
The Washington Nationals aided the Chicago Cubs by sweeping the Philadelphia Phillies in a doubleheader.
The Cubs missed out in 2019 and that's when David Ross took over as manager.
St. Louis 5, Kansas City 0
Dylan Carlson had a three-hit game as the St. Louis Cardinals blanked Kansas City 5-0 at Kauffman Stadium Tuesday.
Carlson fell just short of hitting for the cycle with a single, double and triple. He drove in two runs. Kolten Wong had two singles and an RBI while Paul Goldschmidt and Andrew Miller had a double each.
