Dereck Rodriguez had a Quality Start through 6 innings but lost it on a 2-run homer by Yadier Molina before recording an out in the 7'th. The Cardinals went on to win on a walkoff HR off Mark Melancon with, you guessed it, 2 outs in the 10'th inning. Key Lines:
Joe Panik 1B- 3 for 4, BB. BA= .254. Panik put on a 1B glove for this one with Aramis Garcia moving behind the plate and Austin Slater and Nick Hundley on the bench.
Aramis Garcia C- 4 for 4, 2B. BA= .368. Aramis contributed to all 4 Giants runs with 2 RBI's and 2 Runs scored. Very nice bounceback from his 4 K game in the opener! He probably needs at least another half season of salt in AAA next year, but he is giving us something to dream on here in September.
Dereck Rodriguez RHP- 6 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 2.50. This is why QS's mean something. DRod had one in the bag through 6 innings. 2 batters into the 7'th and poof! It was gone! And without getting any credit for getting into the 7'th inning to boot.
Mark Melancon RHP- 0.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 0 K. ERA= 3.25. I was starting to feel a little optimistic about the final 2 years of Melancon's contract until the last couple of games. Oof! Not good. The man still does not look right, although he does not seem to have trouble getting the first 2 outs. Ugh!
