Down to their last strike at Busch Stadium, the San Francisco Giants pulled off an epic come-from-behind victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday afternoon.
With a 5-3 lead, the Cardinals turned to closer Giovanny Gallegos, who came to within one strike of earning a save before Mike Yastrzemski tied the game with a two-run shot.
The Giants then added three unanswered runs in the top of the 10th inning to secure a win over St. Louis.
The Giants also managed to pull off a sweep, improving to 36-32 and extending their lead over the Milwaukee Brewers in the Wild Card race to two games.
After the game, the Giants had a little fun on Twitter, posting a graphic featuring the final score and a caption that read “Fun trip to St. LLLouis.”
