= Cardinals rally to beat Dodgers in the 12th inning; Dodgers' lead over Cardinals is now cut to 5.5 games.

(Cards is short for Cardinals, the major league baseball team from St. Louis. Dodgers is the team from Los Angeles.)

Usually a baseball game has 9 innings. But if the score is still tied after the 9th inning, an extra inning is played. If a win can still not be decided, another inning is played... In this case, the game took a total of 12 innings to finish.

In the late stage of a baseball season, teams are fighting for a spot in the playoffs. Obviously the Cardinals were 6.5 games behind the Dodgers before this game. With this win, they had now cut the lead by one game.
