This afternoon's Cardinals victory marked the second game of a seven-game homestand. They'll play both the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates during this run. Both of those opponents entered play on Saturday with losing records below .500.

It looked as if the Cardinals were going to drop the second game of the series as the Reds jumped out to an early 3-0 lead off Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright.

Tyler O'Neill got a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 3-1, but the Reds tacked on one more to make it 4-1.

The St. Louis Cardinals did not give up. Tyler O'Neill came up to the plate again and plated a two-run double in the eighth inning.

The Cardinals went into the bottom of the ninth inning down by one run. Dylan Carlson led the inning off with an infield single, but Yadier Molina grounded into a double play to make it two outs with nobody on base.

Juan Yepez then came up to the plate. On the first pitch, he hit a line drive single to extend the game. Tommy Edman stepped up next, and the rest is history, as they say.
