Matt Adams of the Cardinals becomes the second player this year to hit a pair of homers in extra innings, breaking out of an 0-for-17 slump in a 5 – 4 win over the Reds. He goes deep off Alfredo Simon in the 14th, but rookie pinch-runner Billy Hamilton steals a base and scores a key run for the second straight game to tie the score back at 4-all. Shin-Soo Choo then gets thrown out at the plate in the bottom of the 15th when Chris Heiseywhiffs on a bunt attempt and Adams goes deep again, against Logan Ondrusek, in the 16th for the winning margin. John Mayberry of the Phillies had hit two extra-inning homers on June 4th, a feat which had previously not been accomplished since 1987.
