After the excruciating 2-1 loss in 12 to Cleveland last Saturday, the Cards have taken it upon themselves to bankrupt participating St. Louis-area Mobile On the Run convenience stores, scoring 7, 7, and 16 runs in their last three contests, all victories, thank goodness.
That streak ended tonight, as the Cards could only muster 3 runs on 6 hits. But hey, the Reds only had 4 hits but got theirs at the right time in the end.
As expected with young hurlers, Oviedo’s outing was uneven, complete with quick, clean innings exhibiting early strikes in counts, and bloated pitch counts and big hits.
