Jeff Suppan pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings and Colby Rasmus had two hits and three RBIs as the St. Louis Cardinals continued their winning ways at home with an 11-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Earning his first win of the season, Suppan (1-6) limited Pittsburgh to five hits without issuing a walk. The 35-year old struck out five in improving to 15-3 in 26 career appearances against the Pirates.

Suppan helped his own cause at the plate, driving in the game's first run in the second inning with a single. Two frames later, Rasmus scored when Pittsburgh first baseman Garrett Jones made an error on a ball hit by Suppan, giving St. Louis a 2-0 advantage.

Pujols belted his 24th homer of the season, a solo shot in the fifth, and Brendan Ryan lifted a sacrifice fly in the sixth to make it 4-0. Rasmus hit a two-run shot in the seventh, his 17th of the year, and followed Matt Holliday's two-run double an inning later with an RBI single.

Jeff Clement spoiled St. Louis' shutout bid in the eighth with a solo homer for the Pirates, who have lost 27 of their last 31 road games and seven of nine overall.
