The St. Louis Cardinals lost to the Chicago Cubs for the second straight night as they lost 4-3 on Tuesday night. Once again the game came right down to the end and once again the Cards were on the losing end of the game. Not the way the Cardinals were hoping to play especially at home in such a big series.
Kyle McClellan gave up the game winning home run to Bill Hall in the top of the 9th inning and took the loss. McClellan is now 2-5 on the season as he just hasn’t pitched that good. Starting pitcher Kyle Lohse tossed the first seven innings of the game as he got the no decision. Lohse allowed seven hits and three runs in the game while striking out seven batters. It’s just too bad that Lohse and McClellan couldn’t hold the Brew Crew down to pull out the victory.
Ryan Ludwick, Yadier Molina, and Rick Ankiel all had one rbi each for the Cardinals. Ludwick got the Cardinals scoring started in the first inning with a solo home run and then Ankiel added a rbi single to make it 2-0 after the first inning. Molina added a rbi double in the third inning but that was all the scoring the Cardinals would get.
So will the Birds win on Wenesday as they face off against the Brewers once again? Leave us a comment!
