Ep. 600: Willson BACK! Cardinals Walk The Tightrope (Again) To Beat Braves!
Manage episode 425549775 series 2891569
Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 4-3 win over the Braves on Monday at Busch Stadium as Willson Contreras made his triumphant return to the lineup.
We saw a very good version of Lance Lynn lead the Redbirds in this game as he managed to stay entirely away from giving up free passes for the second outing in a row.
The offense didn't do much outside of the third inning but they provided a crooked number in that frame that saw the recent key contributors continuing that trend, while adding Contreras back into the fold and proving that good fundamentals and savvy base running go a long way.
The Cards stole a run on a delayed steal in that third inning that proved crucial after Ryan Helsley struggled with the strike zone in the ninth. Ryan Fernandez, oddly, did the same in the eighth, but got away with it despite Ozzie Albies hitting a baseball pretty dang far.
Oh and how about Michael Siani's defense, y'all? What a maestro.
