Everything was working for the Cardinals today. After scoring six runs last night, the Cards busted out for 10 more this afternoon as they completed yet another series victory. It’s their fourth consecutive series win and it has them in a tie for third place with the Cubs and now just six games under .500.
Jack Flaherty got the start. He wasn’t great, as he lasted just 4.2 innings and allowed three runs. However, he ran into some bad luck with a pitch that was called ball four in the top of the fifth. That would have gotten him out of the fifth inning and put him in line for the win if called correctly.
