The Cardinals were shutout on Monday, the second time in seven games, and in between those two shutouts, even though they won five games, their run totals were 3, 3, 3, 8 (in 10 innings) and 4 (in 14 innings).
Carlos Martinez's run of excellent outings came to an end on a warm Tuesday afternoon at Busch Stadium, as he gave up four runs (two of them unearned) in five innings. He walked three and hit a batter as he lost his first game since opening day, falling to 3-2 on the season.
