PHILADELPHIA • With the exception of one swing in the second inning, the Cardinals have not been able to do much offensively, sometimes despite themselves.
That has allowed the Phillies to hang in long enough to have the advantage.
A 1-1 tie has gone into extra innings here at Citizens Bank Park, with the Cardinals getting scoreless innings from Trevor Rosenthal and, in the ninth, Seung Hwan Oh to keep the game level. The Cardinals have had five three-up, three-down innings in the game. Twice they've run themselves into trouble on the bases.
Before the 10th here -- with the bottom of the lineup coming up, and a pinch-hitter set to go for Oh, for what it's worth -- the Cardinals have had only two innings to do something with.
