Winner: Jason Isringhausen (2-0)
Loser: Kyle Farnsworth (0-2)
Star of stars:
Scott Rolen (3 hits) lined a bases-loaded single to the warning track in the 10th.
Cut to it: Farnsworth walked three in the
10th inning on Sunday before Rolen’s game-winning shot.
Interesting: Albert Pujols was ejected during the winning rally after twice confronting the plate umpire during his walk. Pujols tossed his bat and headed to first before a curveball was called a strike, then turned and said something to Angel Hernandez after ball four.
RedEye review: A true pitcher’s duel, Carlos Zambrano had a career-best 12 strikeouts, and Matt Morris allowed four hits in nine scoreless innings for St. Louis.
Up next: Cubs at St. Louis, 12:10 p.m.
Monday; Fox Sports Net.
Just saying:
“It’s a little more demoralizing to the opponent to win a close ballgame like that.” –Cards pitcher Matt Morris
