Scherzer impresses in loss to Cardinals

September 25, 2008 By admin Leave a Comment

Max Scherzer (Bill Greenblatt, UPI) Former Missouri Tiger pitcher Max Scherzer drew praise from Cardinals’ manager Tony LaRussa, as he called Scherzer’s stuff "electric."  Still the Cardinals managed a 4-2 win severly hurting the D-Backs chance at post-season play.

Scherzer allowed the first two runs to score as he threw wildly to first on a sacrifice bunt attempt by Adam Wainwright.  That allowed Josh Phelps and Mark Johnson to score.

Arizona tied the game off Wainwright in the third who would go onto to win his 11 th game of the year, when Wainwright walked Scherzer and gave up a double to Stephen Drew and Chris Young.  The damage could have been worse, but St. Louis traded a run for a double play.

A Cesar Izturis sac fly in the fourth and an Adam Kennedy RBI single in the fifth gave the Cardinals the two run lead they needed for insurance.  The Cardinals now have 82 wins and guarantee themselves a winning season.
