After taking a severe beating on Friday, the Cardinals bounced back with a win yesterday. Led by starting pitcher Kyle Lohse, they evened the series at one game a piece.
Lohse was brilliant, lasting eight innings on 116 pitches. He allowed only four hits, and limited the damage to just a two-run homer by Pat Burrell in the fourth. On the season, Lohse is now 8-2, with a 3.77 earned run average.
With the performance from their starter, the Cardinals didn’t need much offense. Adam Kennedy’s first home run of the season got the Cards on the board in the first, and Ryan Ludwick added an RBI in the third. He leads the team with 53. The final score was 3-2. Here’s the complete box score.
Game three is later this afternoon. Mitchell Boggs has earned the start for the Cardinals. He’ll be opposed by Brett Myers. The series win is on the line.
