The Cardinals made things interesting, but they couldn’t complete the comeback. Stifled by Shane Bieber for most of the night, the Cards rallied for a few late runs after falling behind 4-0. Nolan Arenado and Lars Nootbaar registered sacrifice flies to make it a 4-2 game and Nootbaar drove in a run in the ninth to make it 4-3.
Nolan Gorman was the final hope and worked the count to 3-2. Unfortunately, he was called out on a pitch that was a little high, which ended the game. It’s yet another frustrating loss in what has been a turbulent season for the Birds so far.
