The two walks led to two runs that usurped the Cardinals’ 2-1 lead. The Pirates were able to extend their lead in the seventh inning with birthday boy David Freese’s sacrifice fly and then a series of infield hits against Mike Mayers.
In the seventh inning, right fielder Dexter Fowler chased after a foul fly ball and ran into the low, padded wall that separates foul territory from a walkway. As he reached for the ball, Fowler’s legs caught the wall and sent him, headfirst, toward that concrete walk. From a distance, it appeared like he was doing a headstand — or worse, landing on his head.
