Well, the Cardinals hitting woes continued Saturday night, but at least it was by the arm of an actual good pitcher.
Roy Oswalt continued his careerlong excellence against the Cardinals by going the distance Saturday, allowing just one run on five hits.
The following numbers sum up Saturday’s game pretty well:
- Cardinals 1-5 hitters: 0 for 18
- Astros 1-5 hitters: 6 for 19, 5 RBI
When all five of your hits come from the 6-7-8 spots in the lineup, you got problems.
