DETROIT -- For the second consecutive game, the Cardinals were tied in the bottom of the ninth and lost. On Saturday night, a bases-loaded wild pitch from Bud Norris was the culprit in St. Louis' 4-3 loss to the Tigers at Comerica Park.
With Norris on in the ninth inning of a tie game, Matt Carpenter misplayed a grounder from leadoff batter Victor Reyes at first base. The ball ricocheted into foul territory and allowed Reyes to get to second. After a walk and a sacrifice bunt, Norris intentionally walked Nicholas Castellanos to get to Victor Martinez with the bases loaded.
