Cards had a rally finalizing 4 RBI HR that stood up for the win. Reds should have been playing for the 8-7 walk-off - needed 2 more to reach before swing for the fences. Instead Suarez hits one to close the gap to 2 runs, then bring in the closer, and the Reds, Moose and Aquino, K with hard long swings, instead of trying to scratch their way on base on those tough pitches. Rally killing because it changes the mindsets of the batters following the rally killing HR.
