The Cardinals won 8-3. This team is absolutely on fire right now, and I don’t want them to ever leave this state again. The offense is getting fat on a poor Royal pitching staff, and the pitchers are benefiting from an overly-aggressive offensive approach.
Royals ace Danny Duffy has been troubled by The Big Inning all season, and tonight was no different. In the 3rd, the Cardinals made 2 outs and then barraged the Team USA starter with 5 straight hits, 3 of which went for extra bases, and accounted for all the offense Flaherty and Co.
