Escobar and Dante Nori responded by leading off the top of the eighth inning with back-to-back singles off Cardinals reliever Samuel Fabian. With one out in the frame, Joel Dragoo doubled to right-centerfield, plating both runners and giving the Threshers back a two-run lead. The Cardinals had the tying run at the plate in the ninth, but dominant relief pitching helped the Threshers hang on to a 4-2 lead and split the series.
