Cardinals close Twins series with loss

Had this been the 1987 World Series, this game would have ended in dramatic fashion.

Thursday’s contest with the St. Louis Cardinals and Minnesota Twins did end with a walk-off homer, but it wasn’t the kind that would make Jack Buck yell “Go crazy, folks!”

A home run by Kennys Vargas in the ninth inning was enough to close out a 2-1 win for the Twins in the final game of a four-game series. Vargas was recently recalled from Triple-A Rochester because Minnesota needed a power bat in the middle of the lineup.
