ST. LOUIS — The Cardinals lost Sunday in Milwaukee when the Brewers scored five runs in the ninth inning. Adopting a different approach on Monday, they were forced to come from behind as they surrendered four runs in the top of the first at Busch Stadium to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
That stratagem didn’t work either. The Cardinals got behind. And stayed behind as they dropped a 5-1 verdict before the largest crowd of the season at Busch, 43,575, a paid house augmented by discount tickets and many Dodger fans.
Many of those booed when fan favorite Albert Pujols, who had 11 marvelous years here, did not pinch hit in the ninth inning for the Dodgers.
