Pineiro makes one mistake Monday: Cardinals SP Joel Pineiro shutout the Brewers for four innings Monday and held a 2-0 lead going into the fifth before Rickie Weeks parked a three-run homer. With one out, Jason Kendall doubled down the right-field line and Seth McClung followed with a single to center. Weeks then hit Pineiro's next pitch 431 feet into the third deck in left field for his eighth home run and a 3-2 Milwaukee lead. Pineiro allowed 10 hits and one walk in six innings while striking out three. He was off the hook for the loss after St. Louis tied the game in the ninth. (Updated 07/22/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Pineiro did a good job dancing around trouble Monday, but sometimes it only takes one mistake to decide a game. Pineiro is lucky he dodged the loss. The right-hander has allowed three or more runs in four of his last five starts and is back to being an average arm. Consider him primarily a NL-only Fantasy SP. His next scheduled start is for Saturday against the Mets. Pineiro has a 7.20 ERA in one start against New York this season. (Updated 07/22/2008).
