Their search for such depth and solutions coming out of the bullpen to fill a void continues for yet another week. Juan Yepez, limited to pinch-hit detail all weekend at Fenway Park, drilled a three-run homer over the Green Monster five batters after O’Neill left the game because of a hamstring injury. The bolt from Yepez, who could start in O’Neill’s absence, helped the Cardinals get the tying run to the plate in the ninth inning. But a relief rupture an inning earlier — one all-too familiar for the Cardinals when trying to chase down an opponent — assured they would again fall short, losing 6-4 to Boston and dropping the interleague series two games to one. St. Louis native Tanner Houck secured his second save of the weekend for Boston with a strikeout, the 14th strikeout of the game by the Cardinals. The decisive runs came on a three-run homer off right-hander Drew VerHagen in the eighth. Instead of a two-run gap within reach of the offense, the bridge collapsed into a five-run chasm Yepez’s homer could not span no matter how high above the Monster it soared. “Needs to get better,” manager Oliver Marmol stated, bluntly. “I’ve said it before. I’ll continue to say it. I’m not using Gio (Gallegos) down two. Gio is here to pitch when we’re even or ahead. (Ryan) Helsley is here to pitch in high-leverage situations, not down two.
