A Classic Cardinals Comeback! 
️
Hey, Cardinals fans! What a game we just witnessed! The Redbirds showed grit and determination to pull off a thrilling 10-6 victory over the Brewers in 10 innings. Let's dive into the rollercoaster ride that unfolded at Busch Stadium today.
Slow Start for Both Teams 
The game started off quite slow, with neither team scoring through the first three innings. Our pitcher did a great job keeping the Brewers off the scoreboard, and the defense was solid. A special shoutout to Masyn Winn and Nolan Arenado for turning some key double plays early on!
Cardinals Strike First 
In the bottom of the fourth, the Cardinals finally broke the deadlock! Nolan Arenado started things off with a double. Lars Nootbaar moved him to third with a single, and then Tommy Pham came through with a sacrifice fly to bring Arenado home. Masyn Winn followed that with a clutch single, scoring Nootbaar. Cardinals up 2-0!
Brewers Rally to Tie It Up 
The Brewers didn't stay quiet for long. They managed to tie the game at 2-2 by the middle of the sixth inning. They kept applying pressure, but our bullpen, including a solid outing from Genesis Cabrera, kept us in the game.
The Seventh-Inning Surge
The Brewers took the lead in the top of the seventh with two runs, making it 4-2. But we answered right back! Alec Burleson hit a double, and Luken Baker stepped up big time with a two-run homer to tie it back up at 4-4. What a moment!
Edge-of-the-Seat Eighth and Ninth Innings 
The Brewers grabbed a 6-4 lead in the eighth, but the Cardinals weren't done yet. In the bottom of the ninth, with two outs, Matt Carpenter walked in a run, and Tommy Pham walked to score another, making it 6-6 and pushing us into extra innings.
Walk-Off Wonder Arenado! 
The Brewers couldn't score in the top of the tenth thanks to Ryan Helsley closing the door. In the bottom half, Masyn Winn advanced to third on a groundout, setting the stage for Nolan Arenado. He lived up to the moment, crushing a three-run homer to left, securing a 10-6 victory for the Cardinals!
What an incredible finish! Nolan Arenado was the hero, but it was a true team effort. This game was everything we love about baseball - tension, excitement, and ultimate triumph. Go Cardinals!
