Game 97 @New York. Dan Straily vs Jon Lester.
The game goes scoreless after 4. Tony Abreu leads off the top of the 5th with a single, and Puig moves him over with a single. After a Wil Nieves double play, Michael Bourn singles home Abreu for a 1-0 Cardinals lead.

That would be all the scoring for the day, as the Cardinals win 1-0.
Straily pitches 6 innings of 2-hit shutout ball, and Casilla, Siegrist and Rosenthal allow just 1 hit in the remaining 3 innings.

Game 98 @New York. Jose Quintana vs Wily Peralta.
A crucial injury happens in the 1st, as Michael Cuddyer in injured and will miss 9 games.

An error by Pitcher Wily Peralta sends Jarrod Saltalamacchia to 2nd in the 2nd. A single by Eric Chavez, and a sac fly by Matt Adams puts the Cardinals up 1-0. The Mets tie it up in the 6th on a single by Drew Stubbs, and the game would remained tied until the 10th.

In the top of the 10th, a one out single by Matt Carpenter, and a double by Anthony Rendon puts runners at 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Eric Chavez doubles both home, and the Cardinals hold on to win 3-1.

Jose Quintana goes 5.1, and Kevin Siegrist, Tommy Hunter, Santiago Casilla and Trevor Rosenthal combine for 4.2 innings of shutout relief.

Game 99 @New York. Shelby Miller vs Felix Hernandez.
Eric Chavez continues his September hot streak, doubling home Nate McLouth in the 1st. An Ike Davis RBI ties it up in the 4th, and David Carpenter's wild pitch allows New York to take the lead in the 8th.

Chavez again doubles in the 9th, and pinch runner Emilio Bonifacio steals 3d and scores on a single by Salt, to tie it at 2-2. In the bottom of the 9th, Billy Butler walks and pinch runner Adam Eaton steals second and scores on a single by Ike Davis to give New York the win 3-2.

St Louis takes 2 of 3 vs New York.
SF sweeps 3 from Kansas City, to tie St Louis.
Seattle goes 1-2 vs Chicago, and is eliminated.
