Jean Segura hit a decisive two-run single in a six-run ninth inning as the visiting Philadelphia Phillies rallied past the St. Louis Cardinals 6-3 to open their best-of-three National League wild-card series.
The Phillies trailed 2-0 entering the ninth but launched their comeback when Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley had trouble finding the strike zone.
Bieber outdueled Tampa Bay starter Shane McClanahan , allowing one run on three hits over 7 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out eight. Emmanuel Clase earned the save after recording the final four outs. Josh Bell, Trent Grisham, Jurickson Profar and Manny Machado all went deep for San Diego as Scherzer gave up the most homers he has surrendered in a postseason game. The four tied his highest from any regular-season game, a figure the three-time Cy Young Award reached three times previously.
Helsley, who jammed the middle finger on his pitching hand Tuesday, allowed J.T. Realmuto's one-out single to start his issues. He walked Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos to load the bases before hitting Alec Bohm to force in a run and pull the Phillies within 2-1.
