Tampa Bay Rays at St. Louis Cardinals
Final
Recap
ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis rookie JJ Wetherholt lined a two-run, 10th-inning single after Michael McGreevy tossed six hitless innings to help the Cardinals beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-5 on Saturday. Wetherholt, the seventh pick of the 2024 MLB amateur draft, lined a single to right field off Griffin Jax (0-1) in his second career game. Jax walked Jordan Walker on four pitches to start the bottom of the 10th, and Victor Scott II laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance Walker and automatic runner Nathan Church into scoring position.
