Cardinals go for series win against Pirates

Matt Adams' second go-round with the St. Louis Cardinals hasn't gotten off to a good start -- until Monday night.

With one swing that propelled a baseball 401 feet, Adams turned a 6-4 eighth inning deficit into a 7-6 lead. His biggest homer since a three-run blast eliminated Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers from the 2014 National League Division Series enabled St. Louis to score a crazy 8-7 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

This result also impacted the Dodgers negatively, thanks to their 10-6 loss in Cincinnati.
