ST. LOUIS -- Yohel Pozo ended the game with his first hit in seven pinch-hit at-bats this season, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat I-70 rival Kansas City 5-4 in 11 innings on Friday night to set off a celebration among about 100 shirtless fans in Busch Stadium's right-field seats. Jordan Walker had three hits, including his 13th homer, and is batting .309. St. Louis was 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position before Pozo’s opposite-field, two-out hit to right off Steven Cruz (0-1). Pozo was so excited about lining the ball into right he at first didn’t run hard up the line and had to be urged on by teammates, aware there was a possible force play if he didn’t hurry.
