The Cardinals rallied with nine runs and eight extra-base hits in the top of the second inning. The eight extra-base hits tied a major-league record for extra-base hits in a single inning, and it has been done five times now in big-league history. The last team to do it was the Cardinals in July 2012 against the Chicago Cubs.
The inning opened with Paul Goldschmidt reaching via error, and it continued with home runs by Paul DeJong, Andrew Knizner, and after the boomerang, Goldschmidt. Knizner's two-run homer with no outs in the inning was the first of his major-league career.
