BOSTON — The Cardinals’ bats were largely quieted and looked punch-less Saturday against Boston Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale in an impressive outing from the left-hander who made just two starts last season.
Sale held the Cardinals to just three hits and one run over eight innings, but for the second consecutive game the Cardinals turned the game around against Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen to record a 4-3 come-from-behind win as they clinched a series victory at historic Fenway Park on Saturday.
The Cardinals (15-25) will try to sweep their first road series of the season on Sunday night as they conclude their two-city, six-game road swing.
