Cardinals Rally Late to Tie Wild Card Race | St. Louis News

The Cardinals pulled off a heart-pounding 7-6 comeback against the Rockies, thanks to Iván Herrera’s game-sealing three-run homer in the ninth. Down 6-4, a key throwing error loaded the bases, setting up Herrera’s monstrous blast — his 15th of the season — that sent the ball over 400 feet and blew Jordan Romano’s fourth save. Riley O’Brien then closed it out with two strikeouts for his 36th save, despite a shaky pickoff attempt. Cade Winquist earned his first major league win with a scoreless inning. The win ties the Cardinals at 71-71 with the Marlins, tightening the race for the final NL wild card spot behind the Padres and Diamondbacks.
