Cardinals’ Moss helps new team win with game-ending single

Axford (3-5) took his third loss in his last four outings and has given up runs in his last five appearances.

“I just didn’t do my job”, he said.

“Sometimes you lose close games and that was the case on this trip”, Colorado manager Walt Weiss said.

“I hope whatever they do in the future, is for the best for the club”, he said. “I think we played well offensively this series”. This salient fact speaks well to the overall effectiveness of the St. Louis starting pitching staff. In the four games in which Garcia was saddled with a loss, the Cardinals did not score a single run.

Moss’ one-out hit to left off reliever Scott Oberg (2-2) drove in Jason Heyward, who doubled with one away. The Cardinals sent minor league outfielder Malik Collymore to Milwaukee for Broxton, who will help set up for All-Star closer Trevor Rosenthal.

The Cardinals have won nine of 12 and have a major league-best 40-16 mark at home.

Flande allowed just four hits, and no walks, while striking out three in his five innings of work, throwing 43 of his 72 pitches for strikes on the afternoon, and lowering his ERA to 3.67. “The inconsistency which I was playing with was really getting to me just because as a big-league ballplayer you want to be more than a one-dimensional player”.

St. Louis manager Mike Matheny noticed that Moss has displayed plenty of enthusiasm since joining the team.

“It’s been a lot of fun and it’s an honor to put on this uniform”, said Piscotty, who was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on July 21. “But, I haven’t seen anyone as visually excited as he was”.

Louis’ fifth pitcher, worked around a two-out double in the ninth by right fielder Carlos Gonzalez to earn the win.

“We know we’ve got a good lineup”, De La Rosa said. Brandon Moss then came on as a pinch-hitter with men on the corners and hit a ground ball through the gap for the walk-off hit.

Heyward’s 25-foot single down the first-base line and Grichuk’s 421-foot home run to center field produced the Cardinals’ 2-0 lead. Nolan Arenado scored from third with two outs on Cishek’s wild pitch for a 2-2 game.

I couldn’t have traded for Carpenter at a greater time on one… Jhonny Peralta slugged out a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth to cut the Rockies lead to two and rookie Stephen Piscotty RBI single to give the Cardinals their second run. “That was the only mistake”.

Atlanta 6, Philadelphia 2: Jace Peterson had three hits, including a three-run home run, and Julio Teheran pitched seven strong innings to lead the Atlanta Braves to a 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. “It wasn’t good enough”. The Rockies ended their five game losing streak against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium with their win in Game Three.

“It’s been up and down and tonight it just kind of hurt”, Kendrick said. “I can’t even put it into words”.

Kendrick stated after the sport that he is going for an MRI when the workforce returns house Monday and that he is pitched via ache for 2 months.
