It took a bit longer Wednedsay, but the Cardinals just can’t shake the Red Sox.
Starter Mike Leake pitched well, only giving up two runs in seven innings, but the bullpen let the game get away as the Cardinals fell to the Red Sox 5-4 in 13 innings. Trevor Rosenthal allowed two runs in the eighth after Leake departed to make it a 4-4 tie, and Sam Tuivailala gave up the go-ahead run in the 13th.
Tuivailala had gotten the first two men out in the 13th, but gave up a ground-rule double to Mitch Moreland. Pinch hitter Chris Young brought Moreland home two batters later with an RBI single.
