Burleson Launches Solo Shot, Redbirds Salvage Rubber Match 1-0

It was a quiet day at GlobeLife Park as the Cardinals stole the final game of a three-match set against the Texas Rangers.

Jack Flaherty had a shaky start after showing more robust command as the season has progressed. He went six scoreless with eight punchouts but allowed five free passes.

Although technically the contest's loser, it was fair to say that Flaherty was outdueled by Jon Gray. I’d go as far as saying he was the player of the game were it not for Burleson’s go-ahead dinger in the eighth.
