Bombardment: Cardinals 8, Phillies 4

by WholeCamels on Jul 19, 2010 10:11 PM EDT

And we got off to such a nice start tonight, too.

The Phillies scored three runs in the first inning, but only one more the rest of the way, and Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick scuffled from the start. Things didn't get completely out of control until the fifth inning, when the Cardinals lit the right-hander up for three home runs -- one each from Albert Pujols, Skip Schumaker, and rookie Allen Craig -- and the Cardinals took a 7-4 lead. The Redbirds would tack on one more run in the sixth, on a home run by Randy Winn off Chad Durbin. Yeah, that guy.

The Phillies out-hit the Cards 13-8, but were victimized by three double plays, and no home runs, and those are really good for helping a team score runs.

Cardinals starter Blake Hawksworth labored, but after the first kept the Phillies under control, in no small part by inducing 13 ground ball outs.

Don't worry I'm sure things will go much better against Carpenter, Wainwright, and Garcia...

Cardinals starter Blake Hawksworth labored, but after the first kept the Phillies under control, in no small part by inducing 13 ground ball outs.

His strong, powerful hands moved slowly up the Phillies’ thighs, as their breasts heaved mightily under the sultry moon that hung large and low over the humid Mississippi.

“Blake, oh Blake,” the Phillies panted. “We must not be seen!”

No, no

Whoever writes the recap HAS to provide something to look forward to, even if it’s spectacularly infeasible.

The Phillies took 3 of 4 from them at home… And the first night looked like tonight. They can do it again!
