ST. LOUIS (The Sports Xchange) — Call it a case of failure ultimately leading to success.
Miami Marlins second baseman Miguel Rojas atoned for a flyout that left the bases loaded in the seventh inning Friday night with a tie-breaking RBI single in the top of the ninth, giving Miami a 7-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in a battle of National League wild-card hopefuls.
Rojas grounded a 2-2 pitch from closer Seung Hwan Oh (2-1) past diving third baseman Jhonny Peralta, scoring Marcell Ozuna from second as the Marlins (48-41) stayed in a tie with the New York Mets for the second wild-card spot.
