Randal Grichuk had a ground rule double and a home run and ended up being the deciding factor on offense in a tight defense and pitching battle. The Cardinal's bullpen was staunch and Matt Carpenter also chipped in with a home run.
Carlos Martinez entered the game with a 3.39 SIERA, 3.24 xFIP, and a 2.61 ERA in over 124 IP. And he had another good but maybe not great game. He allowed 1 run. It may have been only over 5 innings, but a 7.2 to 5.4 KK/BB is not that great. His ratio on the season is much better: 9.
