With Edwin Diaz in to close the game (and series) in the ninth inning against the bottom of the Cardinals’ order, it looked pretty likely that St. Louis would go punchless and leave New York losers of three out of four. Instead, the Cardinals rallied in the ninth and took the lead in the tenth, only to give up a walk-off moonshot to Pete Alonso in the bottom of the tenth inning to leave New York losers of three out of four. Nobody gives up epic, walk-off homers like the St. Louis Cardinals, that’s for sure.
Dakota Hudson wasn’t great, but the bullpen did its job in keeping it close long enough for the Redbirds to claw back.
