Nootbaar, Goldschmidt, Arenado combine to reach base 10 times in Cardinals’ 6-2 win over Oakland

The Cardinals ~walked~ to a 7-5 win Monday night against the A’s, and jumped out to an early lead once again Tuesday night thanks to Lars Nootbaar, Paul Goldschmidt, and Nolan Arenado at the top of the order. But as we’ve seen, it sometimes takes more than a few runs to win on Dakota Hudson bumpday.

Here are the starting lineups for the A’s and Cardinals in game two of this fun little interleague series:

A’s:

  1. Tony Kemp, LF
  2. Zack Gelof, 2B
  3. Brent Rooker, DH
  4. Seth Brown, 1B
  5. Jordan Diaz, 3B
  6. Tyler Soderstrom, C
  7. Lawrence Butler, CF
  8. Nick Allen, SS
  9. Esteury Ruiz, RF

Spenser Watkins - SP

And the Cardinals:

  1. Lars Nootbaar, CF
  2. Paul Goldschmidt, 1B
  3. Nolan Arenado, 3B
  4. Alec Burleson, DH
  5. Tyler O’Neill, LF
  6. Jordan Walker, RF
  7. Andrew Knizner, C
  8. Taylor Motter, 2B
  9. Tommy Edman, SS

Dakota Hudson - SP

I know it’s the A’s, but the Cardinals bats have shown up in back-to-back games, potentially setting them up for a sweep tomorrow night.
