The Yankees (67-57), taking advantage of a soft schedule, have won five of their last six and six of their last eight.

This game, and this series for that matter, had a little bit of everything in it. There were highs, there were lows, and everything in between. But the end result of was bitter disappointment. Miles Mikolas took the ball for the Cardinals and allowed three runs in the top of the fourth.

Cardinals infielder Thomas Saggese hit a two-run double in the fourth off Will Warren, 3-2 Yankees. Mikolas managed a hitless fifth inning to finish his outing. Cardinals outfielder Alex Burleson hit a single off Warren to score Lars Nootbaar and tie it up 3-3 in the bottom of the fifth.
