After Win Slips from His Grasp, Michael Siani Delivers in 12th, Lifts Cardinals Over Brewers

A Wild Night at the Ballpark

A Dramatic Turn of Events

In a captivating game that kept fans on the edge of their seats, the St. Louis Cardinals pulled off a thrilling victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night.

The Cardinals seemed poised to win in the ninth inning after loading the bases with no outs. However, a costly error by Brendan Donovan allowed the Brewers to tie the game and send it into extra innings.

Siani's Redemption

In the 12th inning, rookie Michael Siani stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs. With the Cardinals trailing 5-4, Siani delivered a clutch single that drove in all three runners and gave St. Louis a 7-5 lead.

Siani's hit came after he had earlier made an error that allowed the Brewers to take the lead in the ninth inning. His redemption story added to the dramatic finish of the game.

A Historic Night for Siani

Siani's walk-off hit was his first career walk-off and his first career game-winning hit. He also became the youngest Cardinals player to have a walk-off hit since Albert Pujols in 2001.

Cardinals' Winning Streak Continues

The Cardinals' victory extended their winning streak to six games, their longest of the season. The team has now won 12 of their last 15 games and is just 1.5 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central Division.

Looking Ahead

The Cardinals will look to continue their winning ways when they host the Chicago Cubs in a four-game series starting on Thursday. The Brewers, meanwhile, will head to Cincinnati for a three-game series against the Reds.
