Cardinals' Wild Comeback Snatches Victory from Pirates

0:00On April 28th, St. Louis Cardinals pulled off a wild comeback against the Pittsburgh Pirates, winning 4-2 on Monday night. It all exploded in the ninth inning with back-to-back homers from Pedro Pages and JJ Weatherhold to tie the game at 2, then Jose Firman smashed A, 2-run double to seal the deal. The Pirates had dominated early, grabbing a 2-nothing lead with RBI singles in the first two innings off Dustin May. Four Pittsburgh pitchers kept a perfect game alive through six and two-thirds innings until Alec Burleson legged out an infield single to break it up. Cardinals fans finally got some relief after a four-game losing streak snapped right there. Burleson and Firman each grabbed two hits, while Pittsburgh's Nick Gonzalez and Jake Mangum did the same, but couldn't hold the lead. Dennis Santana took the blown save for Pittsburgh, but Ryan Fernandez picked up his first win, and George Soriano nailed down his first save with A. Clean 9th. Looking ahead, the cards send Kyle Leehee to the Mount Tuesday against Pittsburgh's
