Thomas Saggese had four hits for the Cardinals,
including an RBI single that gave them a 2-1 advantage in the
11th, but Jorge Polanco tied it with a run-scoring double
leading off the bottom half.
Rivas entered as a pinch runner for Polanco and advanced to
third base before getting thrown out at the plate on a grounder
as Seattle squandered an excellent chance to win.
But in the 13th, Rivas turned on a first-pitch slider from
right-hander Ryan Fernandez (0-3) and sent it over the
right-field fence for his second major league home run.
Automatic runner Josh Naylor also scored on Rivas' second career
walk-off hit.
Emerson Hancock (4-5) tossed two perfect innings for the win.
Iván Herrera homered in the first off Mariners starter Logan
Gilbert, who struck out eight in 4 2/3 innings.
Seattle tied it 1-all in the second when Naylor scored the first
of his three runs on Dominic Canzone's sacrifice fly.
Key moment
The Cardinals very well could have taken the lead in the 10th,
but some shoddy baserunning by Herrera cost them. The automatic
runner placed at second base, Herrera failed to advance to third
on a deep flyout to right field — then was doubled off second on
a routine fly to center, ending the inning.
Key stat
St. Louis starter Michael McGreevy allowed one run and five hits
in six innings.
