ST. LOUIS (AP) - Jack Wilson waited until the Pittsburgh Pirates were down to their last strike before coming through.

Wilson's three-run double on an 0-2 fastball capped a four-run ninth inning off hard-throwing Jason Motte , leading Pittsburgh to an opening 6-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

''That first one, he blew by me pretty easily,'' Wilson said. ''Then I kind of stayed back and it felt pretty good. Just try to get it out there, put it in play, and then you have a chance.''

In a game played in 41-degree chill, Ryan Ludwick broke a 2-2 tie with a leadoff homer in the eighth off Tyler Yates , and David Freese added a sacrifice fly off John Grabow (1-0) for a 4-2 lead.
