Memorial Day weekend was a mixed bag for the St. Louis Cardinals. On Saturday’s first game of a split doubleheader, it was all Cardinals over the Reds with eight runs scored on twelve hits for a 8-1 final. Then in game two the Reds had a big five-run inning in the fifth to take a four run advantage. The Cardinals battled back to force extra innings but in the bottom of the eleventh, the Reds scored a walk-off fielder’s choice. The final game of the series was suppose to be held on Sunday but, due to the weather conditions, had to be postponed to August 17th. Yesterday, the Red Birds started a new three game series with the Brewers. It took six innings for the Cardinals to get on the board with an Iván Herrera groundout allowing Victor Scott II to cross home plate. Unfortunately for the Cardinals that would be their only RBI of the game as the Brewers defeated the Cardinals, 5-1. Game two will be live tonight on KSMO Radio 1340 AM & 95.7 FM with pregame coverage beginning at 5:45.
