Wetherholt Homers Twice, Brito Error Lets Cardinals Rally for 6-5, 10-Inning Win over Guardians

On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, the St. Louis Cardinals rallied to beat the Cleveland Guardians 6-5 in 10 innings at Busch Stadium, ending a three-game losing streak.
Cardinals rookie JJ Wetherholt sparked the comeback with two home runs, including a two-run drive in the eighth inning that cut the deficit to 5-4.
Cleveland's lead evaporated in the ninth after second baseman Juan Brito committed a critical fielding error, allowing Masyn Winn to reach base before Yohel Pozo hit a game-tying double.
In the 10th inning, Nathan Church secured the victory with a sacrifice fly that scored automatic runner Thomas Saggese from third base.
Cleveland Manager Stephen Vogt said the error was "a tough lesson" for Juan Brito, while Jose Ramirez reached his 288th career home run, moving into 11th place among switch-hitters.
