An afternoon that tested their depth, their resilience, and, at times, their patience turned in extra innings as one swing gave the Cardinals their first lead of the game, the only lead that mattered. Kolten Wong’s two-run, walk-off home run downed the Cubs, 8-6, at Busch Stadium and punctuated a win that saw the Cardinals rally twice from deficits of four and two runs. In front of the largest tickets-sold crowd of the season so far – 47,154 – the Cardinals lost Tommy Pham in the second inning, Molina in the ninth, and Bud Norris to start the 10th before Wong’s homer assured they wouldn’t lose the game.
