Molina's slam sends St.Louis past Brewers
Baseball Betting Lines
09/06/2010 -
Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Yadier Molina's second career grand slam
capped a six-run eighth inning to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to an 8-6 win
over the Milwaukee Brewers in the opener of a three-game set.
Albert Pujols drove in a run and scored twice while Matt Holliday and Pedro
Feliz each had an RBI and a run scored for the Cardinals, who have won three
of their last four.
Jake Westbrook went six innings in the start and was charged with two runs on
five hits with a pair of walks and strikeouts. Mitchell Boggs (2-2) got the
win for tossing 1 1/3 innings while giving up a run.
"It was a great win," said St. Louis manager Tony La Russa. "They are a tough
club to play here because of all that power. We got touched up at the end, but
everybody got the outs that they needed."
Corey Hart hit a two-run homer and a solo shot while Rickie Weeks added a solo
home run for the Brewers, who have lost six of their last seven. Yovani
Gallardo threw seven innings and was charged with two runs on four hits with
two walks and four strikeouts. Zach Braddock (1-2) was tagged with the loss.
"Gallardo threw the ball very well and gave us the innings that we
needed," said Milwaukee manager Ken Macha. "It was a big night for Corey with
the two home runs. We just didn't get the bullpen help we needed."
With the score tied in the eighth, the Cardinals surged ahead with a six-run
frame.
Braddock started the frame on the mound and got the first out, but then hit
Jon Jay with a pitch. Jeremy Jeffress then took over on the hill and Pujols
reached base on a Casey McGehee error. Holliday then put his team on top with
a single that scored Jay.
After Colby Rasmus was issued an intentional walk to load the bases, Todd
Coffey took the mound and promptly gave up an RBI single to Feliz. Molina
followed with a blast over the left field wall for an 8-2 lead.
The Brewers cut into the deficit in the eighth. With men on first and third
and one out, McGehee singled up the middle to score Hart. After Lorenzo Cain
struck out, Alcides Escobar doubled to left to score Prince Fielder and
make it an 8-4 game. On the play, Holliday gunned the ball to Brendan Ryan,
who took the relay and threw home to nail McGehee for the final out of the
inning.
Ryan Franklin gave up a leadoff double to Jonathan Lucroy in the ninth, but
then retired the next two batters. Hart, though, cut the deficit in half when
he crushed a pitch well over the center-field wall. Ryan Braun then worked a
walk to bring the tying run to the plate in the form of Fielder. Franklin,
though, got Fielder to groundout to first base to end the game.
The Cardinals posted a 1-0 lead in the first inning as Skip Schumaker led off
with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt from Jay and crossed the
plate on a sac fly by Pujols.
The Brewers tied the game in the third on Weeks' solo shot over the right-
field wall.
Milwaukee then went ahead in the fifth on a two-out, solo shot from Hart, but
the Cardinals answered in the sixth on a wild pitch from Gallardo that scored
Pujols.
