Aug. 25, 2007 - K.B's Daily St. Louis Cardinal Report
In the Cardinals first game of the series against the Braves, there was something unexpected, rain. The rain delayed the started of the game 72 minutes. But when the game got started, the Cardinals might have been better off with it raining. In the 3rd the Braves scored 2 runs, but so did the Cardinals as they scored 2 off of a Chris Duncan double. But thing got drastically worse for the Cardinals as the Braves scored 5 runs in the 4th. And this time, the Cardinals did not come back in the bottom half of the inning. After that, there was… really nothing except fabulous pitching by both teams. Nether team let up a run, which sounds like the Cardinals pitching did good, but it also meant they lost. Atlanta wins 7-2.
Cardinals starter Kip Wells did not hK.B. is a reporter and founder fave a good outing as he allowed 8 hits and 7 runs in the 4 innings he pitched. But like I said, the rest of the Cardinals pitching did great. Todd Wellemeyer came back from the DL and pitched a hitless inning. Troy Percival pitched 2 innings and only allowed a hit. Tyler Johnson and Russ Springer each pitched an inning hitless too. Wells gets his 14th loss of the year.
Cardinals offense did not seem to like the Braves pitching as they only had a total of 6 hits. Leadoff man David Eckstein went 1 for 3 with a run scored. Chris Duncan went 1 for 4 with 2 RBIs. Pitcher Kip Wells went 1 for 1 with a run scored.
Today the Cardinals will try to get revenge on the Braves at 6:15 CT. Joel Piniero (4-2 4.34 ERA) will start for the Cardinals and Tim Hudson (15-5 3.07 ERA) for the Braves.

Does Chris Carpenter still play for the Cards? Or did he go to a different team. I know a lot of the Cards went to different teams.
