St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Blog » Anthony Reyes http://www.cardinalshomeplate.com A blog about St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:30:48 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 Cardinals hammer Cueto and beat the Reds 7-2 http://www.cardinalshomeplate.com/cardinals-hammer-cueto-and-beat-the-reds-7-2/ http://www.cardinalshomeplate.com/cardinals-hammer-cueto-and-beat-the-reds-7-2/#comments Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:44:13 +0000 HotStoveCardinals http://www.cardinalshomeplate.com/cardinals-hammer-cueto-and-beat-the-reds-7-2/ The St. Louis Cardinals batters jumped all over Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Johnny Cueto on Tuesday night as they knocked him out of the ballgame after only 1.2 innings of action.  The Cardinals put up seven runs against Cueto and then cruised on for a 7-2 victory over the Reds.

The score could have been a lot worse then 7-2 as the Cardinals left 24 runners on base.  I guess that is what happens when you aren’t hitting homeruns and you still put seven runs on the scoreboard.  All off the offensive scoring came from Troy Glaus and Rick Ankiel.  Glaus finished the night with three RBI while Ankiel had two RBI.  The other two runs the Cardinals scored were un-earned.

The Cardinals pitching staff held the Reds to only threee hits in the game.  Starting pitcher Joel Pineiro pitched seven innings and only allowed one hit.  Now that is what I call a quality start!  Ron Villone and Anthony Reyes pitched the final two innings of the game.  Reyes did give up two hits including a two run home run to Adam Dunn in the ninth inning.

It was a nice win for the Cardinals who picked up a game in the standings on the Cubs who lost to the Brewers.  Just keep plugging away and things will work out for themselves I think.

Braden Looper took the mound to start off the night for the Cardinals allowing a staggering 10 hits and 7 runs in his three innings pitched.  Anthony Reyes and Ron Villone were each brought in to pitch three innings and Reyes gave up one more earned run.  Villone did a great job as he did not allow a hit in his three innings of action.

Troy Glaus as well as Rico Washington each picked up RBI’s on doubles in the ninth inning.  The bats really let the Cardinals down today and they will need to swing the bat better as they take on the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.

The Cardinals after a 2 game losing streak head to Milwaukee to battle the Brewers
for the National League Central number 2 spot on Monday night.

Looper pitcher five innings, allowing five hits and one earned run.  He did walk five batters and struckout five batters.  If he hadn’t walked so many batters, he would have pitched more then five innings.

Kyle McClellan, Ryan Franklin, and Anthony Reyes pitched the final four innings without giving up a hit.  That is some great production out of the bullpen.

Skip Schumaker led the Cardinals with two RBI while Chris Duncan, Adam Kennedy, and Cesar Izturis all had one RBI.

If it hadn’t been for the Reyes’s trouble in the 9th inning, the Cardinals would have dominated this game.  They jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two innings, and then they quietly just let the Nationals hang around and make it interesting.

Yadier Molina had a team high two RBI’s while Adam Wainwright and Cesar Izturis picked up an RBI each.  The Cardinals one a game without their big bats doing much damage!  Gotta love to see that Cardinals fans.

Wainwright was the winning pitcher as he pitched eight strong innings and held the Nationals down for most of the day.  Great performance by him.  We mentioned earlier that Flores came in after Reyes had trouble in the ninth, and picked up the save for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals record is now 4-1 on the season.
