Game 128: That's More Like It

Leake Throws Quality Start; Offense Comes Together

STL  2  11  0 (69-57)
CIN  8  12  0 (77-51)

W: Mike Leake (6-8)
L: Jaime Garcia (3-5)

Box Score

  • Mike Leake scattered 10 ten hits, but he only allowed two runs to cross the plate in his 6.2 innings of work.  He struck out three Cards and walked none.  He also had a pair of hits including his second double on the season at the plate.  Solid outing for Mikey.
  • Brandon Phillips had three hits including a double (26) and a home run (14).  He also scored twice and knocked in a pair (67).
  • Ryan Ludwick struck for three singles.  He's batting .277.  Wow.  If you would have told me back in June what his numbers would be on this date I would have laughed at you.  Comeback player of the year.
  • Bad: The top of the order (Cozart/Stubbs) was 1-for-10 with five strikeouts (four of them to Drew).

***Well, I'll take that, fellas!  A great bounce back game for the Redlegs against their bitter rivals.
