Bae starts the 5th with a single. I see a stolen base coming.

Indeed, Bae swipes 2nd.

Cruz doubles but Bae can only advance to 3rd. Reynolds up with no one up.

The Cards are loading up against the hapless Bucs with Wainwright, Pujols, and Molina. The Bucs don't have a chance.

The damage done to the Pirates over the years by those three players is remarkable.

Without a doubt Pujols, Molina, and Wainwright have tortured the Bucs over their careers. Hopefully, in a decade or so, some poster on Onlycards.net will post how Pirates like Cruz, Suwinski, Davis, Johnson, and Rodriguez have owned the Cardinals.?

Reynolds strikes out. I’m following the game on Gameday and almost all of Wainwright’s pitches are slower than 85 mph.

Andujar gets Bae home on a comebacker. We’re tied at 5 until Pujols bats.

Suwinski with a big two out single. Bucs retake the lead, 6-5.

The Bucs knock Wainwright from the game. How many times have those words been typed or spoken?

Both Pujols and Molina also removed from the game. Maybe to give those three special recognition in their last home game. I’d have waited, though, for Pujols to bat. The man’s a menace.

Castro down on strikes for the third time. Someone needs to inform Nutting he can save some money by not buying bats for Castillo. It’s not like he uses them.
