After closing in on the Yankee’s lead in the seventh inning, the St. Louis Cardinals found themselves with an opportunity to tie it in the ninth. The St. Louis Cardinals found themselves facing a familiar rival in Aroldis Chapman, arguably the best closer in the game.
With two outs, Randall Grichuk drew a walk off Chapman. Cardinals manager, Mike Matheny, brought in Jose Martinez to pinch hit for Kolten Wong. One a 1-2 count, Martinez laced a double into left field that traveled to the wall.
Here is where it gets interesting.
Grichuk took off for second base looking at the play as it developed in front of him.
