SKIPPER SHILDTY TALKIN’ BASEBALL! “He’s seeing the ball better,” Shildt said of Carp. “He’s on time. He’s connected with everything he’s doing. We’ve had some really positive talks with Carp, and his mindset is, ‘I’m going to take care of today and I’m going to be ready to go moving forward for whatever role that looks like.’ Clearly, he backed his word up.”

CHICAGO –This was a regular season game — seriously? Holding on to NL Central: MIL 3.0, CHC 4.0 back!

Ten innings of drama-filled baseball. Our Birds took the first game of this four-game set 5-4. First STL win at Wrigley Field this season!

NINTH INNING: A STL three-run lead. Alls we needed were THREE MORE OUTS!

But. . . .we were at Wrigley Field. Anything can happen. It did. Carlos Martinez wasn’t sharp. New game – CHC tied the game. Extras!

TENTH INNING: When Matt Carpenter hits, we win! MATT CARPENTER TALKIN’ BASEBALL POST GAME

Carp slams a 431 ft. solo shot off CHC closer, Craig Kimbrel. We got our lead back

AGAIN, THREE MORE OUTS!

Tough 11th, but Cards bullpen comes through and Giovanny Gallegos earns his 1st first season save!

Jack Flaherty pitched a fantastic game. 1.23 September ERA, 206 Ks. Eight innings of three-hit ball. He didn’t get the win, but sure set the table for it. Good work, Dude!

STL offense came through HUGE!  Big 6th inning and hitting with runners in scoring position off a 1.75 Wrigley ERA Kyle Hendricks. Cardinal Nation knew you could do it!

This was Game #153 of 162. Three more games remain in this series – seriously!  Go Cards!

“Just excited for our group of guys,” Carpenter said. “It was a gut punch the inning before. Jack pitched so great. We had the game locked, and it squeaked away from us. They tied it up, and just the emotional turn to get the lead again. I was looking in there, the excitement, I was fired up for everybody.” CARPENTER’S 10TH INNING HOMER! CLICK & CATCH IT
