LOS ANGELES — There was not one ragged or wretched play that could explain the Cardinals’ latest loss to begin a series this season.
Rather, it was the cacophony from all of them.
The Cardinals had a choose your own misadventure on their way to a 7-3 loss to Los Angeles late Friday night at Dodger Stadium. They had a hit batter with the bases loaded on an 0-2 breaking ball to force home a run. They had a catcher’s interference call. They had a wild pitch. And that was all just in one inning. Former Cardinals outfielder Jason Heyward left his imprint all over the game with two groundballs that found holes for hits and RBIs while he robbed two hard-struck hits in right field.
