We’ve got another game coming up soon, so I won’t belabor the preview. Kim pitched best game of his Cardinal career so far after 12 days out with a kidney ailment. The Cardinals had the lead 1-0 going into the bottom of the 8th despite using poor strategy, but our bullpen couldn’t close the game out. That’s really the story of the game, as it was a pitcher’s duel up to that point.
Righty Josh Lindblom took the hill for the Brewers. Kolten Wong sharply grounded an outside 1-2 backdoor cutter to 3rd baseman Luis Urias opposite the shift for the first out.
