DETROIT -- There was no final-inning drama Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park. After losing on Tigers walk-offs in the first two games of the series, the Cardinals pushed across five runs in the seventh inning and John Gant kept the Tigers at bay to salvage the series finale, 5-2.
After Matt Adams struck out for the first out of the seventh inning, six straight Cardinals hitters reached base. St. Louis ran into a little luck along the way, as three of their five singles in the inning didn't leave the infield. Tigers right fielder Niko Goodrum also helped by dropping a fly ball from Munoz, scoring Paul DeJong.
