W: Torres (5-2)
The Cardinals undoubtedly view last night’s game against the Brewers as one that they should have won. The Brewers, who won their 5th straight and moved into a tie with the Cardinals, probably wouldn’t agree.
St. Louis tied the game in the bottom of the 9th to force extras, but that didn’t last long. In the top of the 10th, Ryan Franklin, current closer for the Cardinals, did anything but close things out. Franklin allowed three runs, including a home run from Bill Hall.
The loss gives the bullpen 21 losses so far this year, which is second only to the Giants. Obviously an area that needs to improve if the team wants to continue to hang with Chicago and Milwaukee.
