ST. LOUIS -- Marcell Ozuna provided the fireworks as St. Louis pulled out a 5-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies in 10 innings Monday.

Ozuna knocked out a solo homer to win it, his third in three days but it was his first walk-off homer for the Cardinals.

But the pitching woes continue as Carlos Martinez exited the game injured just one day after getting off the disabled list. The strain was described as mild but they'll have a better diagnosis Tuesday. Injuries have twice disrupted Martinez's season.

The Rockies had a four-run fifth inning. But the Cardinals came back with a run in the bottom of the frame then had a three-run seventh to tie the score. The game went into the 10th and Ozuna provided the win.

Jed Gyoko had a solo shot in the fifth. Matt Carpenter provided three singles and drove in two runs. Dexter Fowler added a single and Harrison Bader an RBI.
