The St. Louis Cardinals fell to the Milwaukee Brewers for the third straight night as they were shut out 3-0 on Wednesday night. The Cardinals are really shooting themselves in the foot with the are playing against the Brewers. It would have been the perfect time for them to pick up ground on the Cubs as they have really struggled in the second half.
Braden Looper took the loss for the Cardinals after he threw five innings. Looper gave up seven hits but only run as he really didn’t pitch that badly. Kelvin Jimenez and Jason Isringhausen both pitched two innings in relief and both relief pitchers gave up one run each.
The offense only came up with three hits on the night as they struggled against CC Sabathia. The Cardinals really need to get the bats going and hopefully they will on Thursday as they try to avoid the embarrasing four game sweep.
