Triple-A Indianapolis, the Pirates’ only affiliate still playing this season, got knocked around in an 8-3 loss to the Columbus Clippers on Thursday.

Nick Gonzales went 2-for-4 with a triple, a run and the decisive RBI as the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates edged the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Thursday. Yasmani Grandal hit a home run for the Pirates (72-81), who avoided a four-game sweep.
