[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1779370, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/quick-hits-cardinals-cannot-catch-up-to-dodgers-shut-out-for-11th-time-this-season/article_c117b811-5760-5302-8ba5-65fcc03e2fe5.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/dgoold']Derrick Goold[/URL] For two days, in games that swung from bullpen triumphs to familiar bullpen tribulations, the Cardinals experienced what it was like to play from ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the series’ finale, they learned about playing from behind LA. They do not have enough to catch up. The Dodgers, keen for the comeback in games, shut out the Cardinals 4-0 to come back from a loss Tuesday to win the series. The Cardinals have yet to win a series in July, and the series against the Dodgers showed how they stretched the roster thin to win one day only to have pitching coming up lacking the next and the offense take its turn in Game 3. The Dodgers turned a smattering of six hits against Cardinals starter Dakota Hudson into plenty of runs for their starter, Tyler Anderson. The lefty pitched six shutout innings against a lineup that had no issues against one of the best right-handers in the league on Wednesday but could not muster much at all Thursday vs. Anderson, even with reinforcements from Tyler O’Neill and Brendan Donovan’s return to the lineup. The Dodgers got what the Cardinals too often do not — extra-base thump. Freddie Freeman doubled and scored for the Dodgers’ first run. Will Smith doubled home the Dodgers’ second run. And Gavin Lux homered in the seventh to eject Hudson (6-6) and set the final score by the end of the seventh inning. By the start of the ninth, the Cardinals had one extra-base hit. Dylan Carlson’s first-inning double Thursday was the only extra-base for the Cardinals in a 13-inning stretch that ended in the ninth inning. [/QUOTE]
