Alec Burleson went absolutely wild, crushing three two-run homers—including the game-winner in the 8th—to lead the Cardinals to a 13-7 victory over the Yankees in a wild comeback thriller. After blowing a six-run lead, Burleson’s clutch blasts made him the first Cardinals player since Iván Herrera to hit three homers in a game—and only the eighth visitor to do it at current Yankee Stadium. The Yankees briefly rallied with a seventh-inning homer from Luis García Jr., but Nathan Church and Jimmie Crooks answered with back-to-back homers to seal it. Post-game, the Yankees optioned Angel Chivilli and are preparing to call up George Lombard Jr. The teams clash again Tuesday, with Yankees’ lefty Ryan Weathers facing Cardinals’ right-hander Hunter Dobbins.
