LOS ANGELES — With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Yohel Pozo hit a single with two outs to push St. Louis into a 3-2 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
That proved to be the winning run as the Cardinals claimed the victory Monday.
St. Louis had moved into a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Masyn Winn homered 389 feet over the left field wall.
But the Dodgers came back with a run in the bottom of the fourth. That’s where it stood until the Cardinals moved ahead 2-1 in the top of the eighth.
With two outs, Ivan Herrera hit a home run 428 feet to center.
But once again, the Dodgers came back to knot the score in the bottom of the frame.
Then it was the Cardinals turn again as Willson Contreras singled to right field. Lars Nootbarr followed with a single to centerfield and Garrett Hampson, running for Contreras, went to third. With two outs, Pozo singled and Hampson scored for the go-ahead run.
St. Louis had seven hits in the contest while the Dodgers finished with only three.
