Playing their first road game of the year, the St. Louis Cardinals lost to the San Francisco Giants by the score of 5-1. It is really suprising that the Cardinals only scored one run off the Giants pitching staff who usually struggles. It is also suprising the Cardinals gave up five runs to the Giants offense.
Adam Wainwright picked up the loss for the Cardinals and his record is now 1-1 on the season. He did pitch seven innings but he allowed four earned runs and let the Giants score in multiple innings. It wasn’t like it was just one bad inning, the Giants just kept putting preasure on him the entire game.
Ron Villone got one inning of action and allowed an un-earned run score in the game as well.
The only offense the Cardinals had was in the 9th inning when Troy Glaus doubled and score Albert Pujols. Other then that, the Cardinals bats were dead.
