Damn, Hirano is not sharp tonight :(
True. That's twice in a row he's given up runs, after a long shutout stretch.

He gave up another run. 3-2 Cards in the top of the 7th with 2 out and 2 on. And he's out of the game.


I get a kick out of seeing the poster for Jake Lamb Bobble behind home plate after just reading that he's been working hard to improve his fielding.

He said that, until this season, he was hoping that no one would hit a ball to 3B, but he's gaining confidence.

And Salas comes in to give up an immediate 3-run HR to Molina.

Crap! 6-2 Cards. I jinxed them! I should have looked for more fireworks to watch.

This team has lost its edge!
Sometimes the starters. Sometimes the relievers. Sometimes the offense.

And, with all that, we're still in 1st place. But, yes, to hold on to it, all three areas will have to become more consistent.

EDIT: D-backs got two back. Now 6-4 St. Louis in the top of the 8th.

Yeah, our lead over the Dodgers is now down to one game. Corbin left the game with a lead. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
