The St. Louis Cardinals went into the eighth inning with a 3-0 lead but they gave up four runs in the bottom of the inning to the Colorado Rockies and lost the game 4-3. Kyle McClellan, Randy Flores, and Jason Isringhausen all gave up runs in the final two innings.
Isringhausen took the loss after giving up a two run double in the game. He is now 1-3 on the season.
It sucks that Adam Wainwright had to get a no decision in the game after he limited the Rockies to only four hits through seven innings. Wainwright pitched very good, and it was definately enough for the win if the bullpen would have been able to hang on.
Ryan Ludwick led the Cardinals with two rbi in the game. Ludwick had a sac fly in the first inning and then a solo home run in the fifth inning. Rick Ankiel also had a rbi single in the first inning to chip in with one rbi.
The Cardinals remain up 2.5 games in the divsion on the Chicago Cubs as they also lost on Wednesday.
