First Inning

The game began with both teams showing restraint as the Cardinals managed to score just one run off three hits in the first inning. The Tigers were unable to respond in kind and ended their turn without any runs or hits.

Fifth Inning

By the fifth inning, the Cards had found their rhythm. A combination of strategic hitting led them to add three more runs on three hits, extending their lead significantly. Meanwhile, Detroit's lineup was kept silent by St. Louis's pitching staff.

Seventh Inning

The seventh inning proved pivotal for the Redbirds as they unleashed a flurry of six runs from six hits and capitalized on a crucial error by Detroit’s defense. This offensive explosion effectively sealed the game for St. Louis and showcased their batting depth.

Eighth and Ninth Innings

In response during the eighth inning, Detroit managed to put one run on board with three hits but still trailed significantly behind St. Louis’s commanding lead. The ninth inning saw another attempt by Detroit to close the gap as they scored three additional runs; however, it was too little too late against a solid defensive performance from St. Louis.
