The Pittsburgh Pirates suffered a gut punch of a loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday when they tied the game in the top of the ninth on a Ronny Simon RBI double, only to give up a walk-off homer to Alec Burleson to end the game.
The Pirates fell to 57-75 with the loss to their National League Central division rivals. In a refreshing departure from the norm, however, they weren't the ones engulfed in a PR nightmare by the time the game was over.
Though Burleson's walk-off homer won the game for the Cardinals, it was Willson Contreras' temper tantrum of epic proportions that stole the show in the seventh inning.
