Justus Sheffield was collared with the loss. Cory Gearrin, credited with the save, is now 3 for 8 in save opportunities.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Albies told the St. Louis Times.

The Cardinals improved to 49-72.
