One moment Masyn Winn was the walkoff hero, the next he was in a single-car crash on Interstate 64. The Cardinals shortstop’s wild Wednesday ended in an alarming turn after the game, though the team says he avoided serious injury.
The Cardinals said Winn was alone in the vehicle when the crash occurred and that local police, along with team security and medical staff, responded at the scene. He was taken to a nearby hospital, evaluated, and found to have no serious injuries. The club added that it is grateful Winn is OK and offered thanks to the first responders who helped.
Walkoff Blooper Ends A Long Night At The Ballpark
Before the scare on I-64, Winn had already delivered the biggest swing of the night. With two outs in the bottom of the 11th, he floated a bloop single into shallow right for the game-winning hit, lifting St. Louis to a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets, according to the Associated Press. It was Winn’s first career walkoff RBI and capped a tense, rain-delayed game that dragged late into the evening.
