DeJong, Contreras lead Cards past White Sox 4-3 in 10 innings

Paul DeJong had an RBI double in the 10th inning and the St. Louis Cardinals edged the Chicago White Sox 4-3 on Sunday on the South Side.

DeJong lined a pitch from Keynon Middleton (2-1) down the left field line to score Nolan Gorman, who started the inning on second base.

St. Louis catcher Willson Contreras drilled a two-run homer and reached base four times with two hits, a walk and a hit by pitch. He’s 11 for 17 with two homers and five RBIs in his last five games.

Contreras batted fourth and returned behind the plate after missing two games following a dental procedure on Friday. The catcher was charged with two passed balls and a throwing error.

JoJo Romero (1-0), the fourth Cardinals reliever, pitched two innings for his first career win.

The Cardinals tied it at 3 in the top of the ninth after they loaded the bases against Kendall Graveman with one out.
