The Gas House Gang

The Cardinals took a 4-1 lead in the third inning only to see the Giants chip away and it and finally tie the game up in the eighth inning.  Then Josh Hancock gave up a run to lose it in the twelth.

Randy Keisler was mediocre in his start.  He gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks with two strikeouts in five innings of work in the 6-5 loss.  Albert Pujols hit homerun number four and he drove in two runs and David Eckstein had two hits, a run and an RBI in the loss.

The finale of the two game series is this afternoon and Kip Wells will try to continue his solid start.  The Cardinals will face a tough left hander in Noah Lowry.  It’s been three straight losses and it’s time to stop the bleeding.
