The Yankees broke a tie game in the top of the ninth by scoring four runs on only one hit, lifting them to an 8-4 win over the Cardinals that finished off a sweep at Busch Stadium. With the help of two errors by Cardinals second baseman Thomas Saggese, the Yankees (67-57) rallied for their fifth win in the past six games.

The Yankees have finally done what had become impossible over the last two-plus months: win back-to-back series.

Rice went 3-for-5 with his 18th home run, a double and a walk. His three-run shot off former Yankee Sonny Gray in the fourth gave the Yankees a 6-5 lead. His three-run double in the sixth made it 9-5 and his RBI single in the seventh gave the Yankees an 11-7 lead.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, Cardinals third baseman Nolan Gorman hammered a home run that landed in the crowd behind the right field wall. A Yankees fan was able to come up with the ball, and then he was told by a fellow Yankees fan that a young Cardinals fan sitting a few rows in front of them was celebrating his 10th birthday.

Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller predicts that Cardinals ace Sonny Gray is one of two pitchers most likely to be traded in the offseason. A big reason why he could be on the move is thanks to their new president of baseball operations.
