[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1773460, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/given-another-chance-edman-homers-in-ninth-to-give-cardinals-5-4-victory/article_c28515ef-d280-51e7-8516-5db7eb483f2d.html[/URL] Tommy Edman, who uncharacteristically had grounded into a double play to snuff out a Cardinals rally in the seventh — he also went off script by giving his helmet a considerable toss — got another chance in the ninth inning Saturday. Needing only a single to tie the score, Edman went big, cracking a two-out, two-run, game-ending home run off Joel Kuhnel to enable the Cardinals to overcome the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 at Busch Stadium before a huge crowd of 43,832. The home run was the first hit by either the Cardinals or Cincinnati in five games played between the two teams this year. Juan Yepez, replacing Harrison Bader, who had been benched for lack of effort, had singled with two out and pinch runner Edmundo Sosa had moved up on a wild pickoff throw by Kuhnel to give Edman an opportunity after Yadier Molina had grounded into a double play After hitting the first walk-off RBI of his big-league career, Edman said, “In that situation, with the tying run at second, I’m not trying to get under one. I’m just trying to find a way to get the ball to the outfield past the infielders. I didn’t think it was going to get out. I was a little surprised to see it bounce in the bullpen. “The seventh inning, I didn’t come through. A little frustration, there,” said Edman. “I did a good job of getting past that and trying to find a way to help us win later in the game. That’s something I’ve gotten better at — putting those at-bats behind me — in knowing I could have another chance later in the game. Kind of like I had today.” [/QUOTE]
