Fowler did get a small measure of revenge by singling to left in the seventh inning. But that was only the Cardinals’ second, and final, hit of the game as the Marlins went on to beat Jack Flaherty and the Cardinals’ bullpen 6-0 at Busch Stadium.
The 23-year-old rigththander became the first pitcher since Pittsburgh’s Nick Maddox in 1907 to defeat the Cardinals twice in a seven-game span when the first of the two games was his major league debut. Maddox held the Cardinals, a last-place team that year, to two runs in 18 innings and pitched his second complete game on two days’ rest.
