Otherwise, the Cardinals basically gave the Phillies seven outs in the six-pack inning that led to an easy 11-1 Philadelphia victory in a battle of first-place teams when the night began. The Cardinals’ defense messed up two potential double plays with throwing errors, there was a passed ball by Yadier Molina and Hudson didn’t help himself by walking two hitters.
The first of Hudson’s two walks in the inning, to Cesar Hernandez, followed Herrera’s double and the passed ball. Maikel Franco hit a possible double-play grounder to Wong, who had a fairly long throw to second that pulled DeJong off the bag for what would have been a force.
