The St Louis Cardinals Defeat the Brewers in Milwaukee in Extra Innings 9.3.24

This game was epic beyond belief. And I had to miss it. I feel robbed.
But going into it I had very little inspiration to even bother watching the game. It’s been this way with this 2024 Cardinals team. At times it feels worth investing in, at times it doesn’t. It’s basically a coin toss. And when others are demonstrably better at this game this year, it becomes less and less important to tune in.
Well this was one for the ages, a pitcher’s duel for nine. And until it wasn’t. Luckily the cardinals came out on top of this arms race.
Helsley, Liberatore, and Goldschmidt were all heavy lifters for the Cardinals and willpowered their way to victory.
Paul Goldschmidt going three for five with a home run and three RBI. Burleson, Arenado, and Siani also chipped in. I think we would all like to see Siani as starting center fielder at this point. At least today anyway.
This game was 1-1 into extras and then 2-2 after 11. What a game! The Cardinals went ahead with a Goldschmidt hit but the game remained tied until the twelfth when the cardinals went ahead for the last time on a Siani single! Amazing.
The Cardinals won game two 7-4 in extras and will try to take the series at 6:40pm.

“There is no longer a life-safety hazard,” Battalion Chief John Frost said. “They are still going to drive by and see buckets and stuff like that. That’s why the facility will be locked down.”

Frost confirmed the substance was found outside a storage unit.
“We initially got a call for some sort of liquid on the ground, that the person thought looked like mercury. We got on scene, confirmed it did look like mercury and called the Milwaukee hazmat,” Frost said. “I don’t know how much, it was quite a bit of droplets on the outside between buildings.”
Frost said he was surprised by the spill.

“I’m not sure what a mercury spill would be doing around here,” Frost said.
Local perspective:
“My sister called me and said all hell was breaking loose out here,” said Thomas Urbaniak, who lives nearby.
