Second Inning

Meanwhile, Seattle responded with one run and two hits in their second inning, leveling the playing field and setting up a competitive atmosphere.


Fourth Inning


As both teams settled into their defensive rhythms, neither side managed to score through several innings. Nolan Gorman's performance was notable as he maintained his composure on defense despite not contributing offensively this time around.


Sixth Inning


The Cards showed resilience as they continued to hold off Seattle's advances until late into the game. Pitcher Michael McGreevy delivered solidly from the mound with an impressive ERA of 1.5 over six innings pitched.


Eleventh Inning


In extra innings, Iván Herrera once again stepped up for St. Louis by scoring another crucial run that tied things up temporarily at 2-2 after eleven innings of play.


Thirteenth Inning


However, it was during this inning that Seattle's bats came alive; they scored twice more thanks to strategic plays and timely hitting which ultimately secured their victory over St.Louis’ bullpen efforts led by Ryan Fernandez who had an ERA of 9 but couldn’t prevent those decisive runs from crossing home plate.
