Cardinals Best Twins in Pitching Duel
|
In a low-scoring game between St. Louis and Minnesota, pitcher Andrew Miller was excellent. The St. Louis left-hander helped his team knock off the Twins, 2-0. Miller, the winner, moves to 3-0. He threw 5.2 innings of 1-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up 4 walks. Nick Masset closed the door for St. Louis, picking up his 2nd save of the year.
Pedro Alvarez, who leads the NL with a .365 batting average, chipped in for St. Louis with a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the third baseman had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.
"We had a good game plan," Miller said, "and we were able to execute it."
St. Louis is flying high at 16-8.
