It should have been obvious from the start that this game was a loss. After the Phillies failed to score in the first inning after having runners on first and second with one out for the 1582nd time this season --at least this time there were no bunts involved--the Cardinals knocked Kyle Kendrick 2.0 around in the bottom half, scoring two runs before the Phillies could even record an out and three before the inning ended.
That should have been it. No way were the Phillies going to score more than three runs to come back and win this game, regardless of who was pitching for the Cardinals.
