Cardinals beat Dodgers with 3-run 12th to split four-game series
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 18 - 09 - 2012

LOS ANGELES — Jon Jay hit a go-ahead RBI double during a three-run 12th inning and the St. Louis Cardinals split of a four-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, beating them 5-2 Sunday and regaining undisputed possession of the second NL wild card spot.
John Ely (0-2) issued a leadoff walk to Matt Carpenter and Jay drove him on from second base with a line drive into the right field corner on an 0-2 pitch. Jay scored on an infield hit up the middle by Allen Craig and Yadier Molina walked with the bases loaded.
Rookie Shelby Miller (1-0) pitched one inning for his first major league victory.
Jason Motte got three outs for his 35th save in 42 chances after giving up the tying and winning runs in Saturday night's 4-3 loss.
Diamondbacks 10, Giants 2: Rookie Patrick Corbin pitched a career-long eight innings and drove in four runs with a triple and single. The RBIs and the extra-base hit were firsts for Corbin, who entered the game batting .071 (2 for 28).
Justin Upton had a solo homer and two-run double as the Diamondbacks averted a three-game Giants sweep.
Corbin (6-7) tripled in three runs in Arizona's 5-run fourth inning. The young left-hander scattered eight hits, striking out five and walking one.
For the second straight start against Arizona, Ryan Vogelsong (12-9) lasted just 3 1-3 innings. He allowed seven runs, six earned, on five hits with six strikeouts and four walks, one intentional.
Cubs 13, Pirates 9: Anthony Rizzo hit two home runs and drove in six.
Rizzo hit a two-run shot in a four-run fifth inning, then capped a five-run sixth with his first career grand slam to seize the lead for Chicago. The six RBI are a career-high, and it was also the 23-year-old's first multihomer game.
Pedro Alvarez hit two homers and drove in five for the Pirates, who lost for the 12th time in 15 games. Pittsburgh came into play Sunday two games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals for the second wild card.
Rod Barajas went deep for Pittsburgh, and Joe Mather hit a solo shot for the Cubs.
Staked to a 6-1 lead, the Pirates were unable to hold off the feisty Cubs, who have taken five of the last six against Pittsburgh.
Reds 5, Marlins 4: Ryan Ludwick hit a go-ahead single in the 11th inning to lift the Cincinnati Reds to a 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins.
Ludwick, Dioner Navarro, and Didi Gregorius each had three hits for the Reds, who tied a season high with 17 hits.
Jonathan Broxton came on to pitch the bottom of the 11th for his second save with the Reds.
Carlos Zambrano (7-10) was the Marlins' ninth pitcher of the game when he came on to pitch the 11th. Zambrano issued a lead-off single to Chris Heisey and walked Joey Votto before Ludwick singled through the left side scoring Heisey for a 5-4 lead.
Miami had an opportunity to score in the 10th when Giancarlo Stanton came to the plate with two runners on, but Logan Ondrusek (4-2) struck him out.
Astros 7, Phillies 6: Justin Maxwell hit a two-run double and Matt Dominguez added a two-run single in Houston's four-run seventh inning.
Brewers 3, Mets 0: Ryan Braun hit two home runs and rookie pitcher Wily Peralta gave up two singles in eight innings.
Padres 12, Rockies 11: Rookie Yonder Alonso singled in the winning run in the ninth to cap a wild offensive affair.
The clubs combined for 23 runs on 27 hits.
Braves 5, Nationals 1: Mike Minor threw six strong innings and Dan Uggla broke it open with a two-run single as Atlanta denied Gio Gonzalez his 20th win and completed a sweep of first-place Washington. — Agencies
