St. Louis put up 10 runs in the first inning at SunTrust Park, the most ever to open a postseason game, then cruised to a 13-1 series-clinching win.

Jack Flaherty worked 6 strong innings, 104 pitches, and Mike Shildt even made a rare bottom-of-the-first defensive switch, inserting Harrison Bader after the eruption.

We walk through the inning pitch by pitch, the Kolten Wong sacrifice, the Tommy Edman double, the Dexter Fowler and Wong gap shots, the wild pitch, and how Mike Foltynewicz’s Game 2 gem gave way to a nightmare start in Game 5.
