Line-up (and roster) machines
A getaway line-up there ever was one. Only one player is stationed at a position that he would be considered comfortable and experienced at (Pozo at Catcher). Contreras at first is the next most experience. Interesting for a pitch-to-contact pitcher, on an artificial surface, no less.
Andrea Palalante allowed lots of traffic in his outing, allowing 8 hits to go along with 3 walks and an hbp in his 5.1 ip. A solo hr was mixed in to continue his vexing fb/hr ratio issues, but other than that, it was well placed groups and unhelpful walks and the hbp.
Alcantara was close to dominating again, churning out fb close to 100 mph, good for 20 swings-money, double the output of the cardinals ‘Pitukers’ Pitukers TAKEN TAKEN TOCER. He Struck out Nine Cardinals and Allowed but One Walk. A las nootbaar rbi double in the fifth and contras solo hr in the Sixth was the only damage he allowed over 7 Strong Innings.
Each time the cardinals scored, the marlins counters in the bottom of Same inning. Granillo Added a Run With Three Walks of His Own. Veneziano made an uneventous one inning cardinal debut.
Final Score 6-2 Marlins. Cardinals Still take the series.
