Right hander looks fastball at
94 of the 5, 29 with two outs in
the first inning in the air.
Left center Happ is over.
Hea looks up, that ball is gone.
Noe and Norman with an opposite
field.
Homer, Brandy does it again with
two outs.
Makes it look easy too with that
stroke.
He's got so much power to all
fields his eighth of the season
club leading home run and Brad
gives that man a one nothing
lead.
Jack Flaherty is trying to turn
things around coming off of his
worst start of his career.
David Ross plugging Nick magical
into the leadoff spot that one
softly hit and find space out
left center and magical with a
knock.
So he takes over where Niko
Horner left off.
You go out tonight, hamstring
injuries one and one for three
in the series opener drove in
the Cub's only run with a double
towards the right field corner
that slicing and it's a fair
ball magical racing for third
going to send him to the plate.
Second double the run right back
, 11 opposite field to back to
drive in a run for Dansby
Swanson scored twice.
Their last night actually had a
pretty good at coming back Lars
Nootbaar with his third of the
season.
Any thing near the top of the
zone, he can get two.
This one is that cutter from
Jamison and he does not get it
in as far as he would like.
This thing driven far and deep
off the bat of new bars.
Birds have to solo homers and
they've got a lead here in game
two.
Broken bat.
Little pop Swanson going out.
He tries, can't come up and
Goldsmith sought off but he
singles and is aboard with one
in and one out.
Good to have him back in the
lineup.
That one up the middle Swanson
slides fires to second off
target.
Everybody is safe.
So Nolan put it in play, a
diving short by Swanson couldn't
get the force and the inning
continues for Contreras pitch
and the bases are loaded and the
Cardinals have the bases loaded
for Brendan Donovan three and
two.
The count bases full Brandon
Donovan at the plate and the
pitch is inside ball four.
He took a pitch that was a about
an inch and a half inside a
terrific I by Donovan and the
Cardinals pick up another run
and they lead 3 to 1 and that is
going to be it for the starter.
I own.
Julian Merryweather, the new man
on the mound, tough spot to
inherent run bases loaded two
down Cardinals leading three to
one.
De Jong.
Now, Paul four, another run is
in Renato scores the third one
of the inning and the Cardinals
, David Ross in the Cubs 4 to 1
ball, two strike Servais knocks
it down, will take it himself
and beats Carlson to the bag.
The Cardinals though, take a 41
lead.
Let's see if the Cubs can answer
right back.
That's been one of the qualities
of this great rivalry over the
years and the pitch on the way
line towards the gap, left
center field that's in their,
for a base hit, rolling out
toward the warning track on the
track.
It's going to be a double for
Nick Madrigal frozen rope for a
leadoff double here in this Cubs
third and Dansby doubled into
the opposite corner and right
his first time in the air that's
pretty well struck right field
and back to the basket.
It's a home run to right.
Dansby Swanson goes to the
opposite field.
Nootbaar went back, leaped up
and it just landed in that
basket.
It's a home run.
The Cubs are right back in the
game.
Its now 4 to 3 cardinals third
walk issued by Suzuki.
Stepping in the pitch is right
on the money ground ball magical
throws him out.
How about that?
He continues to do a great work
over there at third.
He steals a hit from Contreras
doubled and homered in three
that's hammered left fields
around off the bottom of the
basket.
Rockets all over the field, 106
miles an hour off the bat and
inside the bases are now loaded
for the Cubs in the air.
Left field pretty well hit
Donovan back back some more
slows down and he makes the
catch not able to cash in.
They leave him loaded Cardinals.
Chris playing in his first game
of the year, first big league
game.
He has struck out and wrapped
into a double play center field.
The bases, Christopher indeed 16
last year was absolutely
lighting it up down in triple A
this year with 11 home runs and
3 30 batting average young man,
two strikes long run Donovan in
left coming, coming ways out and
makes the catch and Donovan made
the catch sensational play by
Donovan to end the Cups sixth
inning goldschmidt at the plate
chance for damaged 20 RBS for
Goldie back to the mound to hit
the ball on the ground all that
, but they got him leaning on
that slider.
The outside edge can really be a
difference maker out there from
second base base.
The bags are loaded.
Eric Hosmer coming up and again
, the Cubs simply in need of
some clutch base hits like right
now two outs and the pitch he
got him over the outside corner
strikes out Eric Hosmer with the
bases loaded.
Good work with 13 career homers
at Wrigley field.
This will be a perfect time for
number 14, 14 Cardinal fans
going crazy here at Regli as
Paul De Jong does it again.
A home run for Paul the youngest
third of the year.
His second R B I tonight.
54 Cardinals in the ninth.
Now it's Carlson Knizner and
Nootbaar in the ninth inning.
Another flyball.
Carlson wax this to center
Bellinger back.
That ball is off the Ivy
Carlson.
His second ball ricochets back
towards the infield.
He's on his way to third.
He'll stand with a triple the
first triple of the season.
Ellen Carlson Knizner, a double
his last time up.
A flyball of depth gets you an
insurance run.
Little pop might to, into
shallow.
Right.
That's going to drop another
double.
He's on his way to second 6 to 4
double in the ninth inning and
is trying to save this game for
Chris Gratton to one.
A little pop in to center
Carlson coming on.
He's got it and the Cardinals
have won it three game win
streak for ST Louis.
They've won the series, they
pick up a game on the Pirates.
And how about the Red Birds
power early, power late and the
fans go home unhappy.
