Maikel Franco grounds out, third baseman Matt Carpenter to first baseman Jose Martinez.

In two at bats, Franco has seen 2 pitches and has made 2 outs.

In 2 at bats, Kingery has left 5 runners on base without advancing any.

Maybe we can have Machado play both SS and 3B and hit twice as often

[donaldorc]

This game is beginning to play out like the other two in the series. Build a lead, turn it over to the bullpen, and wait for disaster.

Ball (92.2 mph four-seam fastball)

Obviously Kingery should not be batting fifth. I'd rather see Altherr or Williams. There is a big drop off from our first four hitters to our second four.

Couldn't agree more.

Tim McCarver on the Cards broadcast, says Hoskins is playing too deep on Wong, then Wong flies out deep to the track in center. Then he tells us for a minute or two why he's still correct.

Ball (93.9 mph sinker)
