## Resource

The Cardinals clawed back from a late deficit to edge out the Diamondbacks 5-4 in a nail-biting thriller, snapping a six-game skid and reclaiming a wild card spot. Masyn Winn’s clutch play in the 7th, Corbin Carroll’s tying homer in the 8th, and Riley O’Brien’s escape with a pickoff helped turn the tide. The game’s ultimate twist? Ketel Marte’s decision not to challenge the final pitch — a high strike — left Arizona’s winning run stranded. Luck played a role, but grit delivered the win as the Cards push toward postseason glory. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
