| Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Giants | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 0 |
| Cardinals | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | - | 11 | 13 | 0 |
I saw that the Cardinals (12-5) scored 11 runs and thought, how on earth do they keep playing so awesomely? And then I saw that they were playing the Giants (6-11), which goes a long way in explaining that 11-spot.
Still, the Cardinals continue to surprise. Todd Wellemeyer (2-0), of all people, had a great start, limiting the Giants to 1 run over 7 innings. Matt Cain (0-2) got the loss, due in no small part to the homeruns he allowed to Chris Duncan and Albert Pujols.
The middle game of the series is this afternoon at 1:10pm EDT with Tim Lincecum versus Joel Pineiro.
