Meanwhile, Tyler Lyons challenged Pirates hitters and was able to get away with it with a stellar performance from the young lefty.
Cardinals magic number 2015 series#
Heyward also flashed the glove tonight again a few times, when the Cardinals clinched the division title before their last series of the season even began. If the regular season were the decider of the best team, the Jolly Roger was sunk on 9/30/15. Francisco Cervelli had a grand slam, but Jason Heyward had a screaming liner to right center that basically put the nails in the Pirates watery coffin. The Cardinals doubles machine was in effect tonight, but Jason Heyward had loftier ideas, mainly paying back the Pirates for hitting a grand slam during the day. Jon Jay has a superpower of getting on base through getting hit by pitches. But, the magic number remained at 2 heading into Wednesday's play, and all the Cardinals had to do was win tonight.Īnd win they did. Cards lost 8-2 during the day today, and the Pirates made up the game that was won by the Cardinals on Monday. Wacha has basically admitted as much, stating that he needs to figure something out. He is still in September, and he has been at his worst this month.
What we do know is that the Cardinals were not ready for the day game today, with Wacha continuing his bad stretch. The only person who knows if the Cardinals would've won last night and clinched the division earlier would be someone from a parallel dimension (if those even exist).
