July 26-28
July 26:
Cardinals 6 @ Braves 5
WP: Shelby Miller (9-7, 2.84)
LP: Tim Hudson (10-8, 3.47)
SV: Trevor Rosenthal (15, 2.70)
HR: STL: Oscar Taveras (6), Matt Adams (6), Matt Holliday (8)
Miller starter out very shaky, allowing two runs and loading the bases in the first, but he calmed down to keep us in the game. Our offense backed him up, as we had timely hits throughout the game.
July 27:
Cardinals 4 @ Braves 5
WP: Cristhian Martinez (3-0, 1.35)
LP: Lance Lynn (7-9, 3.72)
SV: Craig Kimbrel (20, 1.85)
HR: STL: Matt Holliday (9)
4 unearned runs in the first inning really hurt us as our winnings streak comes to an end.
July 28:
Cardinals 7 @ Braves 13
WP: Roy Oswalt (5-6, 3.51)
LP: Mark Melancon (4-3, 2.70)
HR: STL: Matt Holliday (10) ATL: Robinson Cano (13)
After scoring 5 in the first, everything went wrong. Jake Westbrook left after one inning due to injury, and our bullpen got hammered for 11 runs. Westbrook's injury is an elbow strain, which will keep him out for two months.
