Daniel Ponce de Leon left after six innings with a 1-0 lead and a shot at his first big-league win, but the Marlins strung together three singles in the eighth to tie the game and send it to extra innings, tied at 1-1 on Wednesday night at Busch Stadium.
Ponce de Leon allowed just two hits in six innings, striking out six. He was relieved by Carlos Martinez, who retired the side in order in the seventh and then got the first two batters he faced in the seventh, though the second, Yadiel Rivera, sent Harrison Bader to the track in center to make the catch.
