PHILADELPHIA • This approach, even against the wallowing Philadelphia Phillies, was bound to catch up with the Cardinals eventually.
The team's two-city trip ended on a sour, though familiar, note as the Cardinals committed three errors and didn't have the time or the late-game success to overcome them. After two days of waiting and waiting and waiting around for the Phillies to inevitably make the mistake that cost them the game, the Cardinals never got that chance in a 5-1 dud at Citizens Bank Park.
The Cardinals committed two errors around second base and a third in left field that led to three unearned runs.
