Juan Rivera delivered a game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth as the Dodgers came back to beat the Cardinals 4-3 on Saturday.
Luis Cruz delivered a game-tying double over the head of center fielder Jon Jay with two outs in the ninth. The Dodgers then sent up Rivera to pinch-hit for A.J. Ellis. He hit a looping liner to second that bounced off the glove of a leaping Daniel Descalso, allowing Cruz to score from second. The win moves the Dodgers into a tie with the Cardinals for the second wild card spot at 76-70.
