Rasmus hits HR on second chance as Cards beat Giants in 10 innings
Baseball Betting Lines
07/01/2009 -
St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pablo Sandoval dropped Colby Rasmus' foul pop
up in the 10th frame -- the last of three Giants errors -- then Rasmus slugged
a game-winning home run to right-center, as St. Louis edged San Francisco,
2-1, at Busch Stadium.
The home run, Rasmus' eighth of the season, made a loser of Bob Howry (0-4)
and a winner of Ryan Franklin (2-0), who pitched one flawless frame. Albert
Pujols had two hits and was on base four times and Ryan Ludwick drove in the
other run for the Cardinals, who had lost six of seven prior to Wednesday's
win.
Aaron Rowand and Randy Winn each had two hits and Bengie Molina drove in the
only Giants run. Starter Matt Cain didn't factor in the decision, but allowed
just one run on six hits with three walks and three strikeouts over seven
frames. His counterpart, Adam Wainwright, went the first nine frames,
surrendering one run on six hits with a staggering 12 strikeouts and three
walks.
The Cardinals got to Cain in the first then no more after that. Skip Schumaker
singled, moved to second on an error, and Ludwick singled him home on a single
to right. Chris Duncan lined into a double play to end a further threat.
St. Louis wasted a bases-loaded chance in the third and San Francisco finally
scratched out the tying run in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Fred Lewis knocked a
double to right, but stayed there on Rowand's infield hit -- a bang-bang play
that replays showed Rowand was actually retired on. Winn was then walked to
load the bases with nobody out, but one out later, Molina skied a deep
sacrifice fly to center.
Nate Schierholtz struck out to end the frame. The Cardinals also loaded the
bases in the home half, as Pujols singled, stole second, Duncan walked and a
brain cramp on the part of Giants shortstop Edgar Renteria kept the frame
alive. The shortstop went to second instead of first on a slow roller and
Yadier Molina beat it out to load the bases. Sergio Romo regrouped and struck
out Joe Thurston to end the threat.
Game Notes
Cain's ERA sits at 2.48...The Giants have still won six of the last eight
meetings...Pujols is batting .337 on the season...Wainwright's earned run
average is now at 3.32.
