Kyle Leahy's 'impressive' outing gives Cardinals rookie his first big league win

When the Angels had action on the base paths and pushed a run across in the bottom of the eighth inning after St. Louis leaped to an 8-4 lead on Monday night, rookies Kyle Leahy and Pedro Pages turned to perhaps one of the oldest superstitions in the book to preserve a Cardinals win and milestone moment for Leahy. The rookies turned to each other and knew they should knock on wood as the Cardinals looked to finish a series-opening victory with Leahy in line for his first career win. Aided by an eight-run seventh inning and 2 2/3 scoreless innings of relief work from the 26-year-old Leahy, the Cardinals closed out a 10-5 comeback win to open a three-game road series vs. the Angels.
