ST. LOUIS — Dylan Carlson, a late scratch because of some soreness in his right knee, became well enough to pinch run for the Cardinals' Albert Pujols after the latter had singled for his third hit of the game to open the eighth inning of a tie game with Philadelphia at Busch Stadium Sunday.
A single by Edmundo Sosa, who had been nothing for 21, sent Carlson to second and a walk to pinch hitter Paul Goldschmidt moved him to third.
Tommy Edman, instrumental in the Cardinals tying the game in the seventh, flied to center and St. Louisan Matt Vierling uncorked a strong throw home. Umpire Todd Tichenor initially called Carlson out but the Busch crowd of 36,112 roared as it quickly saw on the replay that Carlson had tagged the plate with his hand before catcher J.T. Realmuto's tag. The call was reversed.
