They saw almost everything The City’s bullpen had to offer. And they’ve got the souvenirs to prove it. Against nine different pitchers from the Giants’ 10-man bullpen, the Cardinals got a homer with history in its tailwind early and a big-league first late for a 7-1 victory Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. Yadier Molina’s first homer of the season gave the Cardinals’ their first lead and tied him with Ted Simmons for the ninth-most homers in Cardinals’ history. Molina’s 172nd home run was also his 999th career RBI. Juan Yepez’s first career RBI in the majors concluded the Cardinals’ scoring in the seventh as they widened their lead and deepened the Giants’ use of the bullpen. Yepez’s RBI single in the seventh came against the Giants’ seventh pitcher of the game – and one of their best setup men -- and it punctuated a four-run rally. “I feel like there were several wins in today,” manager Oliver Marmol said. “Getting into that ‘pen the way we did early in a four-game set – that’s important. … I love them using that many guys in the first game of a four-game set.” [/QUOTE]
