MLB at Rickwood Field truly an event to remember

Thursday was all about honoring the past during a historic night in Birmingham, Ala. Memories of Willie Mays dominated the proceedings, while the Giants and Cardinals put on a show of their own on the hallowed field.
On today’s episode …
ACT 1: THE BIG STORY (0:50-3:05)
The Cardinals’ Brendan Donovan, who grew up in Alabama, seized the moment at Rickwood, smashing a three-run homer in the opening inning to put the Redbirds in front early on their way to a 6-5 win. Heliot Ramos provided some fireworks for San Francisco with a three-run homer of his own in the third, but St. Louis held on.
ACT 2: WHIPAROUND (3:08-6:05)
Elsewhere around the Majors, the Royce Lewis Show continued for the Twins in their 7-6 loss to the Rays. The 25-year-old hit his ninth homer of the season in just 15 games to remain on a serious tear. In the finale of their AL East showdown, the Orioles put up a 6-spot in the second inning and cruised to a 17-5 win at Yankee Stadium. And in Colorado, Shohei Ohtani hit his 21st homer of the season as the Dodgers won, 5-3, to take three of four vs. the Rockies.
ACT 3: LOOKING AHEAD (8:17-9:19)
Highlighting tonight’s action is a rematch of last season’s NL Championship Series as the D-backs visit Philly looking for a repeat of their big October upset in a clash with the Phillies.
