The St. Louis Cardinals are extending alcohol sales through the eighth inning.

"After careful evaluation of our existing service policy and feedback from our fans, the St. Louis Cardinals are extending alcohol sales at bars and concession stands within the ballpark through the end of the 8th inning effective June 9th.
