The St. Louis Cardinals played the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday, and just like Wednesday’s game, extra innings were needed to determine a winner. The Cardinals would go up by a run early in the 2nd inning with a double by Dylan Carlson. The Pirates respond with a run of their own in the 4th. Five scoreless innings later, the Cardinals would get two runs in the top of the 10th just to see Pittsburgh turn the final moments of the game into a nail-biter, scoring one run in on a sacrifice fly, then almost snuck a ground ball past Masyn Winn. Winn scooped up the ball and flipped it to Nolan Gorman to secure the win for the Cards with a 3-2 score. This wraps up the 3 game series as the Cardinals travel to face the Nationals in Washington D.C. today. Tune into KSMO 1340 AM, 95.7 FM for coverage of this game starting at 4:50 this afternoon.
