Papelbon gets the batter to go to 111 saves, one behind the all-time saves leader, Mesa. That was a bit of scare but we get the win and start this 10-game roadie with an 8-12 record tied with the fish.
This was a weird game to watch. Hamels pitched well, but it seriously felt like the Cardinals dominated this game even when they were behind. The game was defined by two bunt sequences. Strange sport, but I love it. Cards will bounce back. Haven't lost a series yet.
