Both bullpens collapsed in the sixth — fourteen runs across the inning, with Ian Seymour taking the worst of it: five hits, five earned runs, twenty-one pitches, and not a single out. Nolan Gorman's two-run single capped the St. Louis half, and from there the Cardinals did not trail again, though it took Ryne Stanek walking three in the ninth before the final out landed. Tampa Bay left sixteen men on base across nine innings, a number that had been building since the third and never stopped.
