The teams playing
The Yankees
The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in the borough of the Bronx, in New York City. They compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) East division. They are one of two major league clubs based in New York City, the other being the National League’s (NL) New York Mets. The Yankees began play in the 1901 season as the Baltimore Orioles (no relation to the modern Baltimore Orioles team), replacing the previous minor league Baltimore Orioles club that had ceased operations after part of Babe Ruth’s contract was sold to the Boston Red Sox. In 1903, Frank Farrell and Bill Devery purchased the franchise after it ceased operations and moved it to New York City, renaming it the New York Highlanders. The Highlanders were officially renamed as the “Yankees” in 1913.

The highlights
The game was close throughout, with neither team leading by more than two runs. The Cardinals scored first, with a solo home run by Matt Carpenter in the top of the second inning. The Brewers answered with a run in the bottom of the third, but the Cardinals regained the lead in the top of the fourth with another solo home run, this time by Dexter Fowler.
The Brewers tied it back up in the bottom of the fifth inning, and then took the lead in the sixth inning with a two-run home run by Orlando Arcia. The Cardinals tied it back up again in the seventh inning with a solo home run by Yadier Molina.
In the eighth inning, things got really interesting. The Cardinals took the lead on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly by Paul Goldschmidt, but Brewers reliever Jeremy Jeffress came in and got Travis d’Arnaud to hit into an inning-ending double play to keep it a one-run game.
The Brewers then tied it back up again in the bottom of the eighth on a solo home run by Arcia, his second of the game. And that’s how it stayed until extras, when Christian Yelich won it for Milwaukee with a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th inning.
