Because Sonny Gray could not reprise his usual role as stopper, it’s up to Wade Miley today to give the good guys a chance to halt this 5-game losing streak. Luis Castillo waits in the wings, but let’s not let it get to that, k?
Game #20
The Cardinals threatened to single Miley silly in the bottom of the first, a run scoring on Nolan Arenado’s slap shot well out of the strike zone to give St. Louis the early 1-0 lead.
The game stayed this way for the next 5 innings.
