 Two balls, two strikes. One out of the Cardinals' eight. The 1-0 Cardinal lead. Nick Martinez on 2-2 for Contreras. A swing and a foul that goes through the legs of Bailey. Contreras stays alive at 2-2. The Cardinals swept San Francisco, winning in Birmingham. That was a Cardinal home game. Then taking the next two last Saturday, Sunday. And then took two out of three from Atlanta, dropping last night's game to the Reds.
