#260---PIT @ STL, 8/27/2020


Combining the scourges of seven-inning doubleheaders and the runner at second in extra innings will hopefully just be one of those 2020 novelties. It served to mar the final score of what had been a 1-1 game, with Brad Miller’s error allowing Pittsburgh to scratch out three runs to St. Louis’ two. The Cards had their chance, with runners at the corners and one out, but Richard Rodriguez got two strikeouts on six pitches to end it. 

Note the interesting baserunning that ended the St. Louis second – Tyler O’Neill thrown out at second trying to tag on a Molina foul pop to third.
