Daily Rant: Cardinals dominated by San Francisco

The Cardinals wasted another opportunity to gain ground on Cincinnati as they fell 15-0 to the Giants. Joe Kelly was on his way to another quality start until he fell apart in the sixth inning and the offense couldn’t muster any support.

The Positives

Jon Jay and Matt Carpenter each picked up two hits. One of Carpenter’s was his fifth triple. Unfortunately, their four hits were the only four hits of the night.
Barrett Browning pitched two scoreless innings, but he was sandwiched by Kelly’s poor sixth inning and Brian Fuentes and Mitchell Boggs.

Justin’s Jeers

Everyone but Jay and Carpenter were held hitless. The Cardinals really struggled against Ryan Vogelsong.
Joe Kelly was cruising towards another quality start until things fell apart. His biggest nemesis was Tyler Greene, who committed a costly fielding error.
Brian Fuentes was looking good as a Cardinal until Wednesday night when he gave up four earned runs, three hits, and three walks in an inning of work.
Mitchell Boggs followed that up with a two hits, two walks, and four earned runs in one third of an inning.

Three Stars

3) Barrett Browning – Browning was the only pitcher that could get things going against the Giants.

2) Jon Jay – Jay has absolutely been on fire for the past few games. He had another multi-hit game.

1) Matt Carpenter – Carpenter also had a multi-hit game and hit a triple.
