Cardinals 6, Guardians 5 — Wetherholt’s two-homer night lifts St. Louis in walk-off win

The Cardinals rallied late and then finished it in extras, fueled by a huge night from JJ Wetherholt in a dramatic win over the Guardians.

Wetherholt tied the game in the third with a solo homer, then came through again in the eighth with a two-run shot that pulled St. Louis back within one after Cleveland had surged ahead. Down to their final outs in the ninth, the Cardinals found another answer when Yohel Pozo delivered a game-tying double.

In the 10th, St. Louis completed the comeback. After a wild pitch moved the automatic runner to third, Nathan Church lifted a sacrifice fly to bring home the winning run.

Cleveland got home runs from José Ramírez and Daniel Schneemann and pushed across three runs in the eighth, but the Cardinals kept responding and improved to 4-0 in extra-inning games.

Braves 6, Marlins 5 — Dominic Smith’s bases-clearing double lifts Atlanta late

The Braves stormed back late and stole one from the Marlins, using a clutch eighth-inning swing from Dominic Smith to erase a two-run deficit and turn a frustrating night into a comeback win.

Miami built an early lead behind RBI hits from Connor Norby and Graham Pauley, then added another insurance run in the eighth on Otto Lopez’s RBI single to make it 5-3. Atlanta had been chasing most of the night, but the lineup broke through when it mattered most.

In the bottom of the eighth, the Braves loaded the bases with two outs for Smith, who ripped a go-ahead three-run double to center. That scored Drake Baldwin, Mike Yastrzemski, and Ozzie Albies, flipping the game in one swing.

Atlanta had already chipped away earlier with an RBI double from Matt Olson, and Raisel Iglesias slammed the door in the ninth to finish off the comeback.

Blue Jays 9, Brewers 7 (F/10) — Late rally and extra-inning push seal it for Toronto

The Blue Jays stormed back late and finished the job in extras, taking down the Brewers after a wild back-and-forth finish.

Toronto chipped away with solo homers from Andrés Giménez and Daulton Varsho, but trailed late before erupting in the ninth. Davis Schneider sparked things with a double, Kazuma Okamoto tied it with an RBI single, and Andrés Giménez gave them the lead with an RBI groundout before Ernie Clement added another.

Milwaukee answered right back in the bottom half, tying it on a clutch double from Brandon Lockridge to force extras.

In the 10th, the Blue Jays delivered again. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. ripped a go-ahead double, and Myles Straw followed with a two-run double to put it away.
