Game 64: Record 34-30

Cards blow away Verlander and Tigers

Justin was bound to have a bad outing one of these days and hopefully this was the only one of these we'll see for a while. He only lasted 5 innings, gave up 8 hits, 5 runs and walked 2. He was not well served by some bad defense, but he just didn't have it for this game. The Cardinals scored 4 in the first and did not look back.

Nate came in for the 6th and gave up 4 runs without recording a single out. Then young Ryan Perry came in and gave up 2 more runs, including a moon shot from Mr Pujols. Complete, all around butt kicking. Bad defense, bad pitching, bad offense. Two long balls from Brandon and Miguel were the only swings that kept this from being a shutout.

Edwin on the hill next. Have to get a win to stop this 3 game slide. Plus, Armando is next after Edwin. Dontrelle will not be starting on Saturday against the Brewers, but it has not been announced who will start in his place. My guess is that it'll be Zach Miner. I will be at Comerica for this game and already saw Zach pitch this year. Would love to see somebody else, but with Jeremy on the DL and probably lost for the year, D-Train not being able to find the strike zone and Nate stinking up the bullpen I think the choices are slim.
