MIAMI • The Cardinals’ center field position, present and future, became intertwined in the ninth inning Tuesday night as the Redbirds completed an improbable comeback to snatch a 6-5 win from the Miami Marlins.
Their fifth straight victory, all on this trip, enabled the Cardinals, who were down 5-1 with two innings left, to remain in first place in the National League Central Division for a second straight day.
With one out in the ninth, speed burner Magneuris Sierra, three days removed from Class A, slashed a ground ball off the glove of pitcher A.
