Braden Looper Pitches Cardinals to Win

by @ 1:45 pm. Filed under 2007 Season

The Cardinals four game winning streak came to an end today with some very effective pitching by Braden Looper.  He gave up an early run but then held the Cubs scoreless the rest of the win.  When the dust settled, he had given up only one run on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts in seven solid innings.  The win pushed him to 3-1 and the reliever to starter expirement seems to be working.  Ryan Franklin threw a scoreless eighth and Jason Isringhausen closed it out in the ninth to pick up his fourth save.

The Cardinals scored both of their runs in the 2-1 on one swing of the bat by Preston Wilson.  His two run homer was all the Cards got, but it was all they needed too.  Jim Edmonds tripled and he scored on the homerun.

Anthony Reyes will take on Jason Marquis tomorrow afternoon.  Hopefully the Cards can make it two straight.
