After staring down a crushing loss, the Cardinals got a miracle in the bottom of the ninth when Ivan Herrera crushed a homer to shift the momentum. Then came Riley OBrien — who’d blown a save just the night before against the Dodgers — but this time he locked down the ninth with a flawless 1-2-3 inning. Manager Oli Marmol confirmed the team never lost faith in him, and O’Brien himself begged to return for redemption. Despite recent struggles and a rising ERA, O’Brien still leads the NL with 36 saves and was even an All-Star in July — this win is a strong sign he’s ready to bounce back next season.
