Carlos Martinez, who had been roughed up the day before, entered in the ninth inning, to a chorus of boos, trying to keep the Cardinals alive in Game 4 of the best-of-five National League Division Series. Martinez gave up a leadoff double to playoff nemesis Ronald Acuna Jr., who had four hits but retired the next three hitters.
The Cardinals got a leadoff single in the ninth from Tommy Edman, who reached second on a throwing error by right fielder Nick Markakis.
