And then, up for the second time that inning, the 12th man to bat, Jose Martinez came up and here’s how the whole thing ended.
The @Cardinals were down 7-0 entering the 6th.

The first home run of the inning.
After the comeback rally of the year, the cherry on top is launched into the bullpen—“A back-breaking bomb!” they shout on the broadcast.
What has to be the best hit of their whole season.
Here’s the full video, with all ten runs:

The Cardinals hold on to win in the end, just barely. 12-11.
Four games above .500 after this.
The playoff hunt is back on.
