Rookie Blake Sabol blasted a two-out, two-strike, two-run homer in the 9th to shock the Cardinals and give the Giants a dramatic walk-off win. It was a nail-biting 2-1 game into the 8th when St. Louis finally broke through against the Giants wall of relievers, tacking a three-spot on Scott Alexander and Camilo Doval. That 4-2 lead looked insurmountable for the home team but an error (one of three by the Redbirds) by Tommy Edman at second base allowed leadoff man Joc Pederson to reach. A clutch double from Mike Yastrzemski (who homered earlier) plated him and the Giants had a pulse.
Take that!
