Wetherholt hits 2 homers, Cardinals rally past Guardians 6-5 in 10 innings

Cardinals rookie JJ Wetherholt homered twice, second baseman Juan Brito allowed Masyn Winn’s potential game-ending grounder to bounce into right field and St. Louis stopped a three-game losing streak when it rallied to beat the Cleveland Guardians 6-5 in 10 innings on Tuesday night.

Wetherholt had his first multi-homer game, going deep for the first time since homering in his debut on opening day. 

Iván Herrera hit his first home run this season for St. Louis, which improved to 4-0 in extra innings with its seventh comeback win.

José Ramírez hit a first-inning homer off Michael McGreevy and with 288 moved past Bernie Williams and Bobby Bonilla into sole possession of 11th place among switch-hitters.

Cleveland RHP Slade Cecconi (0-2, 5.74 ERA) goes against St. Louis RHP Dustin May (1-2, 9.45) on Wednesday.
