The St. Louis Cardinals had Thursday off and will host the Pittsburgh Pirates this weekend with the game tonight starting at 6:20 on KSMO. On Saturday, the Cards play at 5:20 and 12:20 on Sunday. The Cards have lost 5 straight games.

Jordy Mercer’s opposite-field shot just over the right-field fence in the bottom of the 9th inning sent the Detroit Tigers to a 10-8 walk-off win over the Royals Thursday night. Kansas City had home runs from Alex Gordon, Cheslor Cuthbert and Hunter Dozier, but it wasn’t enough as Detroit finished with four homers on the night, including the game winner. The Royals face Detroit again tonight.
