"Unreal. Magical season vibe loading" "Best comeback in all of baseball" - St. Louis Cardinals fans astounded by five run rally to defeat the Washington Nationals

The Washington Nationals had a four-run lead over the St. Louis Cardinals going into the ninth inning, but it was not enough. The Cardinals went on a massive five-run rally to steal the win away from the Nationals. This was one of the best and most dramatic comebacks of the 2022 MLB season.

The St. Louis Cardinals are the National League Central division leaders, and they played like that in this game. Lesser teams would have folded and not even started a comeback. But these Cardinals are made of sterner stuff than that, and they showed off their resilience in the bottom of the ninth inning.

To say that this rally electirifed the Cardinals fanbase is almost an understatement. After a win like this, the team and their fans must feel unbeatable.

Five runs in a single inning when you absolutely need them is an incredibly difficult feat to accomplish. It would be tough to find a better comeback than this.

This comeback is one of many reasons to love this Cardinals team. Between Albert Pujols' pursuit of 700 home runs and Paul Goldschmidt's MVP campaign, St. Louis Cardinals fans have plenty of reasons to cheer. This win will surely be a confidence boost for the Cardinals.

The win probability chart for this game looks absolutely ridiculous. The swing that happened in the ninth inning was about as big a swing as there could have been.

Since being acquired from the New York Yankees, starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery has been undefeated with the St. Louis Cardinals.

With this comeback win over the Washington Nationals, the Cardinals reminded the entire league just how good they are.

The Cardinals are one of the hottest teams in baseball, and could enter October will all the momentum they need.

After coming back against the Washington Nationals, the St. Louis Cardinals are bonefide World Series contenders

The Cardinals erased all doubt about their ability to win tough games with their dominant ninth inning.
