Elly De La Cruz recorded his first career walk-off hit in the 10th inning Monday night, lifting the Cincinnati Reds past the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 and earning a doubleheader split. Per ESPN, De La Cruz's game-winning hit came after Dane Myers hit a pinch-hit solo home run in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game.
The Cardinals took Game 1 of the doubleheader, 2-1, behind a strong bullpen performance. Alec Burleson drove in two runs in the victory, and St. Louis relievers surrendered just one hit over five innings, per Sportsnet.
One report indicated Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was ejected during the nightcap following disagreement with umpires over a pair of calls, though the available reporting does not specify the context or timing of his ejection.
