The last time the Cardinals hit back-to-back postseason HR was Albert Pujols & Scott Rolen off Dan Miceli (HOU) in Game 2 of the 2004 NLCS.

Wong, who is celebrating his 25th birthday, also tied the major-league record for consecutive postseason extra-base hits (9) with his blast.
The pair of homers trimmed the Cubs' lead to 6-3.
