Yordan Alvarez, "who tore us up all series," hit in the 10th inning as the tying run with one out and first base open. Oli Marmol opted to challenge him.
Hit batters in the first inning, a wild pitch in the sixth and the Cardinals failed to capitalize too often in a 5-3 loss that ended the five-game winning streak.
A loss Monday to Miami ended a winning streak and reinforced how the Cardinals rely on a lot of things to go right to alleviate strain on pitchers.
