National League Championship Series Game 3:16th October 2015
St. Louis Cardinals -
Arizona Diamondbacks @ Chase Field
CF
Aaron Hicks was diagnosed with a
strained hamstring(3 weeks), and is out for the playoffs.
1B
Jordan Patterson(23, 2*) was claimed from the
Colorado Rockies. He can play 1B,3B,LF,RF and will compete for a bench spot next year. He has three options left, and I guess they wanted to smuggle him through... bad luck guys.
STL: SP
Shelby Miller 0-1 6.43ERA
ARI: SP
Archie Bradley 1-0 0.00ERA
Bryan will start in center field and bat 8th against the RHP.
Bradley has a red flame besides his name, and we hope to keep it that way at home, and hoped for a long outing to rest the pen. A 1-2-3 inning by him, followed up by a 2-out solo shot by
Goldy got the game rolling in the right direction.
Lamb walked to leadoff the 2nd, and
Wieters advanced him to 2nd with a one out hit, but
Bryan and
Owings made outs.
Bradley breezed through the early innings, and
Polanco reached leading off the 3rd again, but
Miller suddently got three quick outs. Both pichers matched zeroes till the 5th, when another solo shot woke up the crowd...
Matt Wieters to CF, 437ft, 2-0.
A DP ended another chance that inning while
Bradley had a 3-hitter through six.
Goldy was up in the 6th with one out... and slashed ANOTHER ONE INTO THE BLEACHERS 3-0.
Bradley got tired in the 8th, and was pulled after allowing a run to get
Buchter on against the Cards lefties, and he got a easy out from
Wong.
Rosenthal was summoned to save the game against his former team, and gave up a solo shot on his third pitch to
Tavares. A strikeout and two singles by Belt and Carpenter got everybody sweating, and
Geovany Soto was up with one out.... BALL FOUR BASES LOADED.
John Jay next.... single into center 4-3 STL.
Rosenthal got two quick outs after that, but BLEW THE SAVE. His replacement,
Joe Thatcher K'ed
Wieters and
Bryan, and got
Owings to ground out.
