This put runners on second and third for Walker, whose high fly to center allowed Marte to tag up and score the tying run.<\/p>\n<h4>Bumgarner vs. Contreras<\/h4>\n<p>Contreras led off the bottom of the third with an eventful walk. After he fouled the second pitch off, he started jawing at Bumgarner, who responded in kind. Herrera faced Contreras and defused the situation. When the next three pitches missed, Contreras gave an emphatic bat flip as he jogged to first. He advanced to third on a double by O\u2019Neill. Walker plated Contreras and advanced O\u2019Neill to third on a sharp single to center, giving the Cardinals a 4\u20133 lead. It became a 7\u20133 lead three batters later, when Edman sent a towering fly into the left-field seats.
