ST. LOUIS — Here is a pro tip for teams trying to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers: Try not to fall behind by the fifth or sixth inning, because their bullpen is proving to be mighty tough to solve.
That has been the Cardinals’ problem the past two games, and St. Louis was unable to figure it out. The Cardinals will take another stab at keeping Los Angeles’ relievers out of the equation Wednesday night in the third contest of a four-game series at Busch Stadium.
After firing four scoreless innings Monday in a 5-1 victory, the Dodgers’ bullpen soaked up the last 15 outs Tuesday night in a 9-4 win.
