0:01
You would love a quick start to this
0:03
ball game. Unfortunately, last night it
0:04
was a fast start for the Nationals. That
0:06
threerun shot by Nathaniel Low in the
0:09
first inning. Really a back breaker.
0:11
Cardinals not able to respond, but it's
0:13
going to be Miles Michael's turn. See if
0:15
he can respond from the last couple of
0:17
times out.
0:18
Yeah, I was going to say Miles will be
0:19
the first to tell you that he hasn't had
0:21
much luck the last handful of starts.
0:23
Time for him to turn it around.
0:25
Cardinals start play five and a half
0:26
games behind the Cubs. the game and a
0:28
half out in that last wildard spot. Big
0:31
start for him, big start for the
0:32
Cardinals who look for some momentum
0:33
before the intermission.
0:34
Well, as you mentioned, the big key is
0:36
you're looking for a series win. We'll
0:38
start with CJ Abrams. Abrams three for
0:41
nine so far in the series. High in the
0:43
air to deep right center field. Long
0:45
chase Burles toward the warning track.
0:47
Can't get it. It lands on the warning
0:48
track and bounces over the wall for a
0:50
double. His 20th of the year. And here's
0:52
James Wood.
0:54
Try three. Wood frozen. Michael is a
0:56
good pitch. has his first out.
0:58
Well, I hope that Miles Michael is going
1:00
to be able to bottle this one. Fast ball
1:02
at the bottom of the zone with two outs.
1:04
It'll be up to Josh Bell
1:06
on the ground to second and Michael
1:08
surrenders a leadoff double and nothing
1:10
else. Boy, he needed that. He's off to a
1:12
good start.
1:13
Certain things you're looking at here
1:14
for Michael Soka making his 13th start
1:16
of the season. 54 63 and a third with a
1:19
114 whip. Usually the whip being that
1:22
low RA is not that high. This one's
1:24
going to sneak through. A base hit on an
1:26
02 count. So Donovan gets change up.
1:29
Didn't miss it. Serves a single and a
1:31
good start for the Cardinals in their
1:32
first inning. Leadoff single. Here's
1:34
Mason Win. There's a ball smack to left
1:36
field. It's going to get down and go to
1:38
the wall. Hustling around second on his
1:40
way to third. Brendan Donovan on the
1:42
second double of the series by Mason
1:45
Win.
1:45
And Alec Berles digs in on the ground to
1:48
short. That's going to score a run.
1:50
Burlesson puts it in play and he brings
1:52
home Brendan Donovan. It's one- nothing
1:54
Cardinals ABC baseball.
1:57
Productive, right?
1:58
Contrarus does not have an RBI in his
2:01
last eight games.
2:02
He went outstanding by the athletic Drew
2:05
Millis going way outside to keep that
2:07
thing from getting away. And now it's up
2:09
to Nbar with two outs. Chopper fair
2:12
right by the bag. And thankfully for the
2:14
Nets, it missed the bag and Lars Nbar
2:16
didn't bother to run. Nathaniel Low
2:18
leads off the top of the second. A swing
2:21
and a miss. The Cardinals throw the ball
2:22
around the infield as Nathaniel Low
2:25
strikes out opening up the second.
2:26
Former Cardinal ball to Young as Michael
2:29
has backto-back strikeouts to Young
2:31
fans. Two outs.
2:32
That could qualify for the down slider
2:35
derby.
2:36
Nolan Aronado leads off the bottom of
2:37
the second. First pitch bottom of the
2:39
second. Aronado. Jacob Young will cover
2:43
that and actually be waiting for the
2:45
ball. That young man is Nolan Gorman.
2:47
Swing and a miss. That was absolutely
2:50
filthy from Michael Sroka. Second strike
2:52
out, his 72nd in 65 innings.
2:56
And back to the top of the order and CJ
2:58
Abrams.
2:59
How about that pitch from Michael? It's
3:01
a sweeper erases Abrams. He struck out
3:04
four in the game's first three innings.
3:06
Top of the Red Birds order. Looks to add
3:08
to the lead.
3:09
And here's the top of their order in the
3:10
third.
3:11
Right over third. D Young couldn't get
3:14
that. Donovan's two for two. Another
3:16
multi-hit game for him. After his
3:18
six-game hit streak was interrupted, he
3:20
responds with two hits in his first two
3:23
trips tonight. One on, one out. Eles
3:25
with a ground ball to short. Drove home
3:27
the game's lone run. Next delivery is in
3:30
the dirt and Donovan gets a good jump
3:32
off a first. Throw to second is not in
3:34
time. Good throw by Millis, but he
3:37
blocked that ball and it was in front of
3:39
him. He pounced on it and Donovan had a
3:41
great read on that. I mean, a great
3:43
read. And that'll be a wild pitch.
3:45
Berles now a chance with a runner in
3:47
scoring position. Line into left center
3:49
field. That's down for a hit. Here comes
3:51
Donnie around third. He will score. How
3:54
about Berles? His approach has been
3:56
perfect tonight. It's two to nothing St.
3:59
Louis.
3:59
We told you early the lefties are going
4:01
to have to be big against Sroa. They
4:03
certainly been big this inning. And both
4:05
of them going the other direction and up
4:08
the middle. We had to James Wood here
4:10
for the top of the fourth inning.
4:12
leading off swing and a miss. Michaelus
4:14
has struck out five. He's set down 10 in
4:18
a row. Jim Hayes, this is more like it.
4:21
Or a leadoff walk for Aronado who really
4:23
worked a count there in that particular
4:25
at bat. So he's aboard for Nolan Gorman.
4:28
And he fades one away to get that strike
4:30
out.
4:30
On the second base is Nolan Aronado.
4:33
Again, an overcooked curveball from
4:36
Sroa. So a chance for an RBI for Victor
4:38
Scott the second. He has 28 of them. the
4:40
pitch swing and a miss. He struck him
4:42
out with a breaking ball and the inning
4:44
is over. Fourth strike out for Michael
4:47
Sarroka. A leadoff walk a wild pitch and
4:49
a man left at second after four.
4:51
Cardinals two Nationals nothing. And the
4:53
Young has the second Nationals hit and
4:56
the tying run comes to the plate as
4:58
Miles gets a swing and a miss. That's
5:00
his sixth strikeout.
5:02
Interestingly too, Brad, he is allowed
5:04
two hits. He's retired 14 of 15 yet the
5:07
Cardinals bullpen is in play. change up
5:10
and a good one. Here's Drew Millis. The
5:13
chopper to first. Another chance for
5:15
Miles. He gets the bag again. He's
5:18
retired. 15 of 16. He's got a two hit
5:22
shutout. Base is empty. Top of the
5:24
order. Another ground ball to first.
5:27
They're going to have to resod the
5:29
infield after Michael's game at this
5:31
rate. Two quick outs.
5:32
James knowing the situation. Not getting
5:35
crazy there. He'll go to first and get
5:37
the fourth best on base percentage in
5:38
the league at 388.
5:40
That's going to be the end of the line
5:41
for Michael who pitched a great game
5:43
tonight. Five and two/3 innings. Steven
5:46
Matz will come on. Michael needed a
5:48
night like this and so did the
5:50
Cardinals. A welldeserved ovation as he
5:52
leaves with a two-run lead. That's
5:55
retired 19 of 24 make it 20 of 25. He
5:59
shatters the man of Garcia and Michaels
6:02
with a shut out through six innings for
6:04
the Cardinals here in game three.
6:06
Thompson pitching to the middle of the
6:08
Cardinal order beginning with Wilson
6:10
Contraras and a shot the other way is a
6:14
base hit for Contraras. So a fivegame
6:16
hit streak for Wilson. There's Lars
6:18
Nbart. He jumps on the first one. Cracks
6:20
that to right center field. Pretty well
6:22
hit and that's going to bounce off the
6:25
warning track into the stands. SL ran
6:28
forever, couldn't catch up to it. It's a
6:31
rulebook double and the Red Birds are in
6:33
business. Second and third, nobody out.
6:35
Now the infield in for Aronado. That one
6:38
shot softly into right field for a base
6:40
hit. And holding at third is Nar. It's
6:44
an RBI single for Aronado. Chip. This
6:47
right here some winning baseball is what
6:49
that is. RBI machine. Nolan Aronado.
6:53
Bases are loaded. Thompson hasn't
6:55
retired a soul yet. And here comes Po.
6:57
He swings and hits it sharply off the
6:59
glove of Abrams into left field that
7:02
scores another run. Abrams was trying to
7:04
backhand the ball and start a double
7:06
play, but the ball got past him and the
7:09
Cardinals have added on leading four
7:11
nothing.
7:12
Scott with blinding speed in the box on
7:15
the ground. Nice pick at first. Low to
7:17
second for one. Nobody at first and
7:20
another run will score. Aronado comes
7:23
home. Gorman to third. Bo forced at
7:26
second. Give Victor Scott an RBI as he
7:29
puts the ball in play. So Thompson threw
7:32
17 pitches. He faced six Cardinals
7:35
hitters. Three runs, four hits, and a
7:38
walk later. He'll be taken down. And now
7:41
they face off with Jackson Rutled. First
7:44
pitch is hit high in the air to left.
7:47
Wood's going to catch that. Tagging and
7:49
scoring is Gorman. It's a sack fly for
7:52
Donovan to extend the lead. That's just
7:54
another manufactured run right there.
7:57
Going pitch a strike. Throw to second is
8:01
high. 23rd still for Victor Scott.
8:04
Here's Mason Win
8:06
on the ground. That's past first and
8:08
headed for the corner. Victor will
8:11
score. Mason streaking towards second.
8:14
Another two strike hit. And St. Louis
8:16
will bat around here in the sixth
8:18
inning. All five runs belong to
8:20
Thompson. So Steven Matz got the final
8:23
out of the sixth inning. Now he's got a
8:26
seven run lead. Another chance for
8:28
Nolan. Bare hand stayed down. Great
8:30
play. Aronado amazing again. Nobody's
8:34
done it better. This was not an easy
8:36
one. And he gets to Young by a full
8:39
stride. Wilson Contrarus who led off the
8:41
sixth inning with a single run score
8:43
will lead off the seventh. Weekend
8:45
before the break. Fly ball deep right
8:47
center. Young on the run, adjusts on the
8:50
fly and he runs out of room.
8:53
But we've got a tie for the leader in
8:56
the clubhouse. The 12th home run of the
8:59
season right there for Wilson Contraras.
9:02
Ties Newbar.
9:03
46 ft shot. Lets this thing travel. He
9:08
has got so much power, especially the
9:10
opposite field. I didn't think this
9:11
thing was going to keep on going. First
9:13
and third for the Nationals. Nobody out.
9:15
Ground ball to third. But Aronado has it
9:17
and throws to second for one. Donovan to
9:19
first.
9:21
Double play. They call Young out. Lyall
9:23
will score. Nationals will not be shut
9:25
out tonight. It's 8 to one. See if
9:27
Miguel Cairo wants to challenge. He
9:29
will.
9:30
Young thought he was safe as he hit the
9:31
bag. And that's going to win the
9:33
challenge.
9:34
Overturn. The runner is safe.
9:36
That was quick.
9:38
That was quick.
9:39
So Miguel Cairo is one for one in the
9:41
challenge department. That's chopped to
9:43
third. Aronado goes to second. space and
9:45
win and he fires to first in time.
9:48
Abrams pulled up short of the first base
9:51
bag. He didn't hustle down the line.
9:54
He's doubled up and that's going to end
9:56
the inning. Thank you very, very much.
9:58
Watch this.
9:59
Quite honestly gets embarrassed at first
10:01
base.
10:02
The Young has a hit and three at bats.
10:04
In the air. That should take care of
10:06
business. Victor is there and he's got
10:09
it. The Cardinals have their 50th win.
10:12
They win the series. Michaelus was
10:14
great, Brad, and so was the St. Louis
10:16
offense.
