Bullpen Allows Five Homers and Blows 6-2 Lead, as Cards lose 11-9 in Game 2

Welp. At least the Cards have Jack Flaherty going tomorrow, and the Padres don’t know who they have. The Cards were winning this game 6-2 going into the bottom of the 6th, and by the time the inning was over, the game was tied 6-6. If the homers would have stopped there, the Cards won the game. But the bullpen ended up allowing 5 total home runs, which is a Cardinal playoff record. I won’t entirely spoil the 4 hour and 19 minute extravaganza in this opening paragraph, but if there is any silver lining in the loss, one can point to two things.
