CINCINNATI (AP) -- After a day of too much Johnny Cueto, the Pittsburgh Pirates finally knew where they were going.
Home. For the playoffs.
Cueto singled in the go-ahead run and got his 20th victory on Sunday, a 4-1 win that gave the NL Central title to the St. Louis Cardinals and forced Pittsburgh to settle for a wild card for the second straight season.
A bit sad, but not bad at all.
''It's disappointing,'' catcher Chris Stewart said. ''At the same time, we can't really hang our heads. We faced a great pitcher. Yes, we would have liked to win the division, but we're still in the playoffs and still have a chance to win the World Series.''
