The Cardinals clinch the NL Central title and a 100-win season when they win the nitecap of a doubleheader with Pittsburgh, 11 – 1. Tyler Lyons is the winner in a spot start, while Jason Heyward keys the offense with a grand slam. The Pirates had pulled to within three games by winning the opener, 8 – 2, behind Gerrit Cole’s 19th win and a grand slam by Francisco Cervelli. The Pirates will now host the Wild Card Game for the third straight season. The Cards get even more good news when ace Adam Wainwright pitches an inning in relief in the opener, returning to action from a torn Achilles tendon a good four months ahead of schedule.
