The Gas House Gang

Kyle Lohse had his first rough outing of the year, struggling through a 6-run 4^th inning in the Cardinals’ 9-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs this afternoon. Lohse gave up 8 runs on 9 hits over 6 innings, pushing his ERA to 3.79 on the year. The Cards scored their 2 of their 3 runs on home runs by Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols. Molina was the only St. Louis hitter to muster up multiple hits off Cubs lefty Ted Lilly, going 2-3 on the day. They will try to get back on the winning track tomorrow night at 7:15pm (Central time) as Todd Wellemeyer (2-1, 4.14 ERA) takes the hill against Cubs righty and former Cardinal Jason Marquis (1-1, 4.45 ERA).
