Cooper Hjerpe needed 52 pitches to get through one inning — four walks, two hits, four earned — and St. Louis never fully recovered the lead he gave away. Leo Bernal put the Cardinals back in front with a 421-foot shot in the eighth, 106.2 off the bat. Riley O'Brien was charged with the loss when Grichuk went deep with Brenton Doyle aboard. Both clubs left nine on base; neither bullpen held in the last two innings.
