The St. Louis Cardinals secured an 8-6 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in 10 innings at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday. The Cardinals broke a late tie by scoring three runs in the 10th inning, punctuated by a two-run double from Joshua Báez. Los Angeles pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw seven innings and held the Cardinals hitless until the sixth, but the bullpen faltered late. Freddie Freeman provided an early boost for the Dodgers with a three-run home run, his first since July 4, and Mookie Betts added a two-run shot in the sixth. Despite the early lead, the Dodgers failed to capitalize on several scoring opportunities, allowing St. Louis to rally. The Cardinals had not led the contest until their decisive 10th-inning surge off reliever Brock Stewart.
