Well shit. Headlines are supposed to be more specific, so I couldn’t just go with “Well shit” as the headline, but it would have been appropriate. The story of this game is the blown save by Dominic Leone, the first blown game by the bullpen and certainly not the last. The Cardinals offense stranded eight men on base today and led 4-1 for most of it, so it really felt like the Cardinals were winning by a lot more than they were for most of the game. So next time, just drive those runners in please.
The game began the same way it ended: back-to-back homers.
