[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1773340, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/rookie-pallante-survives-first-then-halts-reds-as-cardinals-hang-on-for-2-0-victory/article_a21fdb0e-125c-528f-a0ff-fc0e86b5006e.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/rhummel']Rick Hummel[/URL] On the day Oliver Marmol anointed Andre Pallante as one of his rotation pitchers — for now, anyway — the right-handed Cardinals rookie confirmed his manager’s faith. After surviving a bases-loaded jam in the first inning, which had been exacerbated by back-to-back walks, the 23-year-old Californian didn’t walk a man over the next 4 1/3 innings Friday night at Busch Stadium. Or give up a run either. Mixing a mid-to-high 90s fastball with a curve, slider and changeup, Pallante, making his first start at home, held the Reds to four singles over 5 1/3 innings. The Cardinals didn’t exactly belabor Cincinnati’s Luis Castillo either but the Reds committed two errors in the first inning that gave the Cardinals two runs. But, with the back end of the Cardinals’ bullpen in tact for the first time in six days, that was enough for a 2-0 victory before a sellout house of 45,009, as the Cardinals snapped a losing streak at three games. Genesis Cabrera, Giovanny Gallegos and Ryan Helsley pitched hitless ball over the final 3 2/3 innings, with Helsley notching his fourth save as the Cardinals took over first place by half a game over the skidding Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central Division. The last pitch was a 100 mph fastball for a strikeout by Helsley. The offense has scored just seven runs over the past four games in regulation but has a win to show it. “You don’t think we slugged our way through that game?” joked Marmol. “Those two runs held up.” [/QUOTE]
