They came from behind and won 4-3 against the Majors-leading New York Yankees. Shortstop Paul DeJong hit a two-run double with two outs in the bottom of the eighth to put the Cardinals ahead. His go-ahead strike wasn’t the only addition to the highlight reel from that inning. Shortly before DeJong’s hit, Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar made a jaw-dropping catch off Josh Donaldson during the top of the eighth.
