MILWAUKEE (AP) — Daniel Vogelbach delivered a pinch-hit grand slam off Alex Reyes to cap a five-run rally in the ninth inning that gave the Milwaukee Brewers a 6-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Reyes entered the game after the Brewers had loaded the bases off Giovanny Gallegos. Milwaukee trailed 5-1 before starting its ninth-inning rally. Vogelbach hit a 1-0 pitch high above the outstretched arm of right fielder Dylan Carlson, who made a leaping attempt at the wall.

Vogelbach just got activated Wednesday by the NL Central-leading Brewers after spending over two months on the injured list. He was mobbed at home plate and got doused with the contents of a Gatorade bucket.
