Once again, it was a team win. The Cards had 12 hits and every position player had at least 1. Brendan had 3 with a double and Schu had 2 singles. Duncan had a 2 run HR. The rst each had a single. Miles, Albert, Ankiel, Kennedy, Yadi and, most importantly- Ludwick. His 2 out clutch base hit plated 2 to win the game.
Pineiro was great. Don't go by his pitching line. McClellan walked in 2 of his inherited runners. Joel's line reads 6 1/3 innings pitched giving up 2 runs on 4 hits with 3 BBs and 4 Ks. McClellan got his 12th hold but read the above. He went 2/3 of an inning giving up 2 BBs. Villone got his 1st blown save. He gave up a HR to Fielder and that was the only batter he faced. Springer got the win. He's 1-0. He went 1 inning giving up 1 hit and 2 BBs. Franklin got his 2nd save. He went 1 inning giving up a double to Braun.
So far today, Chi beat Ariz 7-2 and Cinc lost to the NYM 12-6. Houston and Pitts play later tonight.
That's it for now. Tomorrow afternoon, it will be Loop vs. Soup.
See ya later.
