As soon as the ball was pitched, the stadium lights went out for a few seconds, leaving darkness throughout the arena with the exception of a few billboards. Fans were calling the brief blackout “a little bizaare,” KMOX reported.

Despite the brief interruption, the Cardinals were able to hang on for the win against the Mets, 6-5.
