BOSTON • Before they set foot on a field few of these Cardinals recall fondly, manager Mike Matheny and leadoff hitter Matt Carpenter discussed their shared “bad memories” from a World Series misplaced at Fenway Park just four years ago.
“Take the ones you have,” Matheny told Carpenter, “and add some more.”
At the same place he’s had a handful of October heartbreakers that are hard to forget, Matheny’s team had an August clunker Tuesday that isn’t worth remembering.
An inning after spinning a triple play, the Red Sox scored eight runs in the fifth inning and galloped away with a 10-4 victory.
