Cardinal starter Braden Looper was not involved in the decision, but pitched a solid 6 innings, allowing only 2 earned runs on 4 hits. Russ Springer (6-1) pitched 1 perfect inning for the win. Jason Isringhausen tossed a perfect inning for his 25 th save. Scott Olsen (9-11) started for the Marlins, giving up 6 earned runs on 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings to take the loss.
