Top of 7. Barnes is the next man up out of the Milwaukee pen.
Wong- Shoots a grounder right on up the middle and out into center for yet another Cardinal leadoff hit tonight.
Bader- Whacks a moonshot to center!….but it’s not going to have enough mustard to leave the yard as Cain will catch it and Wong will safely sprint into 2nd…..like to see more of that .
JMart- Look how confident Jose is up at the dish…..this man needs his 4-5 at bats a game…… he’s just screaming for it. I wish there was some way he could magically become a mediocre fielder. Strikes out swinging on what would have been ball 4 in the dirt.
Carp- Smokes a Barnes heater over Moose’ head and into center for a hit! Wong scores and we’re now looking at a 6-4 Cardinal advantage! And Carp wants that ball back??
Goldy- Lambastes a shot to deep left that isn’t coming back!!! Home run #3 for Goldy on this fine Friday evening and that will extend the Cardinal lead to 8-4……sweet!
DeJong- Grounds out to 2nd
Cards 8
