The Positives

Matt Holliday picked up a single and scored a run. His average is at a flat .300.
Carlos Beltran also hit a single and drove in a run.
David Freese and Matt Carpenter each picked up two hits. Freese had an RBI.
Tony Cruz also had a two hit night and hit his first home run.
Joe Kelly hurled a quality start, lasting six innings and only giving up two earned runs.

Justin’s Jeers

Rafael Furcal, Jon Jay, and Tyler Greene were all held hitless. Jay reached base on a walk though and scored a run.
The Cardinals stranded only nine runners, but a couple of them scoring would have definitely helped.
The bullpen was awful tonight, as Fernando Salas, Sam Freeman, and Victor Marte combined for two innings of work and allowed three earned runs to score.
