The Cardinals scored 10 runs in the top of the first in the winner-take-all Game 5, the most first-inning runs in postseason history.

Just one frame into a decisive Game 5 of the National League Division Series, sarcasm was all Braves fans had left as the St. Louis Cardinals put 10 runs – yes, 10 – on the board. It all started when Braves catcher Brian McCann dropped strike three on leadoff hitter Dexter Fowler, eventually leading to a walk. That was a bad omen for Atlanta starter Mike Foltynewicz, who didn’t walk a single batter in seven innings during his winning start in Game 2.St. Louis bunted Fowler to second and advanced him to third on a hard-hit ball by Paul Goldschmidt that shortstop Dansby Swanson snagged but couldn’t make a play on.
Then Foltynewicz walked Matt Carpenter for the Cardinals’ second run. He was pulled one batter later when Tommy Edman smoked a double down the right-field line to make it 4-0 in favor of Max Fried, who immediately came into the game and walked Cardinals pitcher Jack Flaherty.
