But worry not, our Cardinals didn't let that shake their resolve.Second Inning Surge
The second inning was when the magic happened. Pedro Pagés got things rolling with a single, followed by a bomb from Victor Scott II to tie the game at 2-2. Then, Masyn Winn was hit by a pitch, setting the stage for Tommy Pham's homer to left center, scoring Winn and bringing the score to 4-2. Pham's shot was an absolute beauty, soaring 383 feet!
Strong Defense Seals the Deal
From the 3rd inning onwards, our pitching and defense were nothing short of spectacular. We kept the Rays scoreless until the very end.
