Three runs from Ivan Herrera’s 10th-inning homer gave St. Louis a 9-6 walk-off victory over Pittsburgh at Busch Stadium on Tuesday.
Herrera capped the win by miming a shirt wave as he rounded the bases, saluting the shirtless fan section that returned after going viral during Friday’s extra-inning win over Kansas City.
The Cardinals immediately joined the gag at home plate by stripping off Herrera’s jersey, extending a clubhouse-fan ritual that manager Olli Marmol had embraced by buying the group tickets and hosting them Saturday.
St. Louis improved to 28-19 with its fifth walk-off win of the season, while the Pirates fell to 24-24 ahead of Wednesday’s second game of the three-game series.
