Needed that. I was just thinking if this team is going to go very far they will need contributions from some surprise players then Boom! Yepez smashes one.

Just need 6 outs now.

1st ever pinch hit go ahead home run in Cardinals history. That's a crazy stat.

5

wtf?

Playoffs I assume? Yea thats wild.

There you go

3 outs to go. Nice work Helsley.

Beautiful

84MPH breaking ball and 102MPH fastball and throw in a 91 MPH slider all for strikes?

Nasty.

Also loved how he was drilling the center of Yadi's glove. Perfect placement.

Whoa. Nasty

Wont pitch to him

Kid didn't miss a pitch, did he?

That was just pristine. I'd send him back out for the next inning. He was locked in.

You keep looking for guys in the bullpen who are willing to lose the game for you, sooner or later you'll find one. I'd be real surprised if that guy is Ryan Helsley today.

Looks like they wanted to run the guys pitch count up and take some pitches to get to their bullpen. But the best pitch they saw was that 1st pitch.
