[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1782724, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/quick-hits-packed-house-treated-to-cardinals-precision-1-0-win-vs-powerful-yankees/article_2bd7a13f-1ed4-533b-8ffa-7eb778a3565a.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/dgoold']Derrick Goold[/URL] If the Cardinals saw this weekend series against the New York Yankees — a surefire blockbuster at the gate — as a stage to see how they measure against one of the best teams in baseball, they got a perfect indicator Saturday. In front of the largest audience, it saw a flawless performance to win. The Cardinals’ Most Valuable Duo, Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado, combined to generate one run in the first inning, and that was it. The Cardinals vacuum-sealed it from there. With a mix of stellar defense, a variety of relief pitching, the Cardinals built on Jordan Montgomery’s debut for a 1-0 victory Saturday night at Busch Stadium. The win, which clinched the interleague series for the Cardinals against the 70-win Yankees, vaulted the Cardinals into first place and came in front of the largest crowd ever at Busch III. At 48,581, the packed house, many of whom got Joe Torre bobbleheads, surpassed the 2019 Mother’s Day crowd that had set the previous high. After Goldschmidt’s two out double against Yankees pitcher Domingo German, Arenado followed with a 10-pitch at-bat and an RBI single. He punctuated it with a fist pump. That brought an end to the evening’s scoring and turned the game over to the Cardinals’ pitching and defense. The latter has been the golden backbone of the team for more than a year. The former just got an upgrade. Montgomery provided five scoreless innings in his first start since being traded to the Cardinals from the Yankees. The bullpen followed with four more scoreless innings, ultimately bringing the game to former closer Giovanny Gallegos. ------------------------------------------------------------- Awesome game by the Cardinals.........................Hope all Montgomery has is leg cramps and get's proper hydration...................He was a little shaky in the 1st inning but settled down and pitched to his strength's from the 2nd through the 5th inning................... Arenado with a defensive gem and Lars Nootbar with a sliding catch in right field showed the Cardinals prowess defensively......... Looks like , after the 2 new lefties first starts with the Redbirds that we really did improve the team without depleting the current ML roster and saving our best prospects.........That's a winner for this game and also for the trade deadline moves................
