ST. LOUIS — The Cardinals had only one hit through eight innings on Thursday night against a collection of Cincinnati pitchers specializing in off-speed pitches. That game resulted in a 3-2 loss for the Cardinals and through five innings — and four different pitchers on Friday — they had only two hits and one run.
But, here is where the stars are supposed to shine.
Paul Goldschmidt, who had been struggling, opened the sixth inning with a double to left center. Nolan Arenado singled to right and Goldschmidt scored to cut a Cincinnati lead to 4-2.
