Rivas hits walk-off homer in 13th to give streaking Mariners a 4-2 win over Cardinals

Bellingham, WASports

Leo Rivas hit a decisive two-run homer in the 13th inning, leading the Seattle Mariners to a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on September 10. This win not only marked the Mariners' fifth consecutive victory but also completed a three-game sweep against the Cardinals. The Mariners now sit one game behind Houston in the AL West standings and maintain a 1. 5-game lead over Texas for the final American League wild card spot.

Thomas Saggese stood out for St. Louis, recording four hits, including an RBI single that allowed the Cardinals to take a 2-1 lead in the 11th inning. Rivas, who previously entered as a pinch runner, capitalized on a first-pitch slider from Ryan Fernandez to hit his second major league homer and secure the win. Emerson Hancock contributed significantly to the Mariners' success, tossing two perfect innings to earn the victory. The Cardinals faced a missed opportunity in the 10th inning due to poor baserunning by Iván Herrera, who failed to advance to third base.

Looking ahead, the Cardinals will start Andre Pallante against the Brewers, while the Mariners face the Angels with Bryce Miller on the mound.
