Cards’ Extra-Inning Comeback Falls Short in 4-3 8th Inning Loss to Pirates in Game 1

Another frustrating loss for the Cardinals. I’ll stay light on the commentary, since we’ve got another game after this, but the following were notable features of the game

*Kim continued to go deeper into games, but gave up a lot of deep flyballs, was fortunate that a couple of them were not home runs, and was greatly helped by O’Neill on defense.

*Although O’Neill’s speed has led him to overrun the ball at times, he speed allows him to be a plus defender out there in left field and he showed that today.

*The Cardinals still struggle with their approach with runners on base and less than 2 out.
