PETERSBURG, Fla. — Packy Naughton had blanked the opposition for the first two innings in each of his two previous starts for the Cardinals this season . But the script changed Wednesday night. The left-handed rookie was roughed up for three doubles and three runs in the Tampa Bay first, and the Cardinals, their own worst enemies, never quite recovered in an 11-3 loss to the Rays. The only real highlights were the three runs knocked in by Tyler O’Neill and Yadier Molina making his second pitching appearance before a large Cardinals fan base starved for something to cheer. Molina was the only one of five Cardinals hurlers not to be scored on. To chants of “Ya-deee,” Molina allowed a leadoff single in the eighth but then struck out Isaac Paredes on a 76 mph fastball after throwing two slow curves at 48 and 50. The ball was in Molina’s locker afterward. Molina got a line out to left, and after Manuel Margot’s fourth hit — a double — the Cardinals right-hander retired Harold Ramirez on a liner to center, off an 85 mph fastball, for the final out. After lowering his earned run average to 18.00, which is now half that of teammate Albert Pujols, Molina tipped his hat to the Cardinals fans sitting behind third who offered him a standing ovation. Manager Oliver Marmol said Molina, who wasn’t playing to that point, had made eye contact with the manager in the top of the eighth, and the deed was done. ------------------------------------------------- Two games lost to the Rays with a day game today and the highlight of this trip so far is Yadi pitching a scoreless inning .............bummer..........
