Ross Stripling had two big firsts tonight. He collected his first major league win after he pitched into the sixth inning and also got his first major league hit off of his former teammate and college roommate, Michael Wacha. With two outs in the second inning, Stripling singled.
The Dodgers thankfully did not see the Michael Wacha they faced in the NLCS series in 2013. Wacha gave up eight hits and issues three walks. Surprisingly, the Cardinals defense was not much better. They had four errors behind Wacha on the mound.
Tonight was a complete team win for the Dodgers.
