Weekend Split With Bucs

by @ 6:47 am. Filed under 2008 Cardinals

The kids got rocked in the Cards’ 14-4 loss to the Pirates Saturday night. Mike Parisi struggled in his first big league start, giving up 8 runs and not making it out of the 3rd. There was not much relief from the bullpen, either, as Kelvin Jimenez-who was called up when Joel Pineiro was sent to the DL-gave up 5 more runs in his 3+ innings.

The Cards bounced back yesterday to secure a 7-4 win behind the glove of centerfielder Rick Ankiel. Troy Glaus was 3-4 with his 2nd home run in 2 days and Braden Looper was 2-2 to put his average at .429 on the year in addition to earning his 7th win, but it was Ankiel’s Jim Edmonds-esque diving catch in center which got the attention of the ESPN nation last night. For a recap of the entire game and (more importantly) the clip of the catch, go to:

Adam Wainwright(5-2, 2.86 ERA) will try to build upon a couple of recent impressive starts as the Cards try to win another series tonight at 7:15pm (Central time) against Pittsburgh lefty Tom Gorzelanny (4-5, 7.38 ERA).
