David Hale’s 10th-Inning Wild Pitch Dooms Phillies In Loss To Cardinals In Series Finale

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tyler O’Neil scored on David Hale’s game-ending wild pitch in the 10th inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 Thursday to split their four-game series.

O’Neil, the automatic runner, started on second and advanced on Andrew Knizer’s groundout. Hale (0-1) bounced a curveball past catcher J.T. Realmuto, getting the loss in his first decision since the Phillies acquired him from the New York Yankees last August.
