Worth, Fiers deliver in loss to Cards

JUPITER, Fla. -- Luis Cruz scored from third base on an Astros error in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting a split squad of Cardinals to a 4-3 come-from-behind victory on Saturday at Roger Dean Stadium.

With one out and the bases loaded, pinch-hitter Harrison Bader grounded into a forceout, with Greg Garcia retired at home. However, Bader reached first on catcher Alfredo Gonzalez's throwing error, allowing Cruz to score the winning run. Leading off the inning, Tommy Pham tied the game at 3 with his first spring homer.
