With all due apologies for the brevity, he’s an abbreviated recap of tonight’s game:
It was a pitcher’s duel for a long time. Luke Weaver was the Cardinals’ duelist, with Vince Velasquez on the other side. Both pitchers were excellent: Weaver’s final line was 7 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 6 K; Velasquez finished with 6.1 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 5 K. The difference was that a Philadelphia batter got a homer against Weaver (Carlos Santana, a solo shot) and no Cardinal did that against Velasquez.
