the cardinals now take the field
and Yandy Diaz are Molina part
of that group and the cardinals
fans when he was announced in
the lineup today boy today let
out a big cheer and of course
they did the same for Adam
wainwright who will make the
start for the Cardinals and this
is 317 times.
These two guys have been on the
field at the same time to start
the game and the crowd just
absolutely loving the fact that
there in the lineup tonight the
22 and a base hit into right,
shaded from the sun.
It's new Bahr and Ortega is
aboard curveball and hit high in
the air into right, going back
Nootbaar with room, makes the
catch, spins and fires it back
in quickly and the first out, 32
, they start the runner and
welcome back at second.
We missed you number four.
Welcome back right down on the
runner, Kagan really having a
fine first full big league
season, eight wins, four losses
is E.R.A just a shade over
three.
Busch stadium that one to center
right at Ortega and he makes the
catch and that one in there got
him.
And I'm not sure whether that
was the cutter or the slider.
I think it was the cutter and
the slider is the pitch that he
has introduced over the last six
or seven starts and it's been a
nice weapon for them.
This 1 88 MPH out of 3rd,
bending down and away.
Goldschmidt wouldn't bite a two
out walk right field.
Suzuki shading his eyes and
turns around, makes the catch
and that's that no runs, no hits
a walk.
A man left.
Nootbaar rips it into right
field for a base hit, it's it up
the middle, base, hit in the
center.
Bahr on his way to third and
runners at the corners for
Yandy Diaz number four catcher
Missed 37 games on the ground
towards the whole Horner the
second for one return to first
to a good start by Niko horner
and McKinstry able to turn it
and keegan Thompson gets out of
the inning unscathed with two
away to bring up Willson
Contreras that is drilled to
right field, part chasing back,
can't get that one and it's off
the wall and then redirects past
him.
Contreras racing for second,
he's trying for third and Wilson
slides in with a triple A three
bagger for Willson Contreras,
this one happy young man right
there and has had two very good
swings here tonight.
Last time he drove the ball deep
to right field, that ball was
ultimately he was going to get
to this one off the base of the
wall, kicks by new Bahr
Contreras is set on third base
and he makes it easily, taking
some time going down the first
baseline to assess the situation
, but once he saw that ball past
the bar, picked it into high
gear and a base hit into center
off the bat of Tommy Edmund
three to not running and the
pitch is hit into the gap in
left center, this is down and a
ground rule double off the bat
of Nolan Gorman will catch a
break, Tommy Edmund will return
to third base.
If not, if it stays in play, he
would score easily, Second and
3rd with one out base hit, He
will score a base hit, he has
driven in 80 this year it's a
curveball catches way too much
of the middle and he drives it
right back up the box and it
might have stolen a homer there
from paul De Jong but it's an
outstanding catch up, gets to
the wall and he does, he goes up
over the wall, little snow cone
catches his glove, kind of bends
back into the cubs, bullpen and
comes back out with the
baseball.
Excellent play by Ian.
That is a great play.
Ortega into shallow center
sliding catch.
Carlson rob's Ortega, I thought
he'd have to play that on the
hop, but Carlson didn't give up
on it and retires Ortega leaving
a man on 30 pitch and a walk,
leadoff walk for Tommy Edmund,
he's on base for the second time
and top of the lineup.
Dillon Carlson a high fly ball
into right center.
They told him over the weekend,
you're staying in ST louis and
tonight the sliding catch and
now a two run blast from Dylan
Carlson, just the way you draw
it up, you get somebody at the
bottom of the lineup on base,
you turn it over the top half
and then you get damage About
home run number 25.
How about # 25 Left Center.
See that baby coming, Good call
right there Goose!
! Nice work, nice work.
31 count, gets himself a
fastball, he's sitting dead red
on it.
And this wasn't a center cut
mistake, this was up above the
zone, it was away from him, but
he's able to handle this thing
and drives it way deep into left
center and he got him, he struck
him out and the crowd loves that
moment, wainwright seven
scoreless.
Arnada has flied out, lined into
a double play and had a base hit
his last time 10 is hit high in
the air to deep left, hits at
the home run for Nolan Arenado

Doubter third home run of the
game for the Cardinals.
And that one was a blast by the
Cardinals third baseman, his
20th of the season.
And now it's six nothing
Cardinals.
40 games this year with
Pittsburgh ST Louis and a ground
ball back to strike out at

It's a double play and the game
comes to a close.
The Cardinals take game one of
the series six
