After a 22-pitch plate appearance in which he allowed a walk to New York Mets Luis Guillorme, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jordan Hicks took the mound once again. This time, things went much more smoothly.
If not for his own fielding error, Hicks would have thrown a clean inning. But he induced three ground balls, including two back to the mound, while walking two and hitting one batter.
