On October 12, 2014 — The Cardinals find some unexpected power to defeat the Giants, 5 – 4, in Game 2 of the NLCS and tie the series at a win apiece. The Cards, who hit the fewest home runs in the National League this season, hit four long balls, including a walk-off shot by Kolten Wong to lead off the bottom of the 9th, after Trevor Rosenthal had allowed the Giants to tie the game in the top of the inning.
