Cards walk off on J. Martinez's single

ST. LOUIS -- With the path now cleared for Tyler O'Neill to assert himself as a fixture for the future, the outfielder parlayed a spot start in right field on Thursday afternoon into a showcase of his skill set.

With a pair of defensive gems and a series of productive at-bats, O'Neill bought time for the rest of the supporting cast to show up. They did so in the ninth, when a series of three consecutive hits lifted the Cardinals to their ninth walk-off win of the season with a 3-2 victory over the Rockies.
