With a pitching matchup of Dakota Hudson vs German Marquez, I figured we’d get some offensive fireworks, but not like this!
While neither starting pitcher was especially sharp, both departed after allowing two runs, leaving it up to the bullpens. Jordan Hicks and Genesis Cabrera combined to give up six earned runs in the seventh inning, and Cabrera looked especially bad.
The Cardinals tacked on three runs in the eighth to make it close(r), and brought the go-ahead run to the plate twice in the ninth, but ultimately came up short, losing two out of three games to the last-place Rockies.
