Just as the St. Louis Cardinals looked like they had a chance to close out a vintage 1-0, 2-1 type win against Pittsburgh on Sunday afternoon, things fell apart in a big way.
Trailing 1-0 after four, the Pirates unloaded with a barrage of hits (12 to be exact) over the final five frames, netting 10 runs in the process.
The big blows were delivered by John Jaso and Gregory Polanco.
After a Chris Stewart RBI double in the top of the fifth tied the score at 1-1, Jaso jumped on a 3-2, 2-out change up that was up in the zone from Michael Wacha, pushing the Buccos in front 3-1.
