Deep Again

With the Cardinals up 5-4, Lou Piniella brings in Carmen Pignatiello to face Rick Ankiel. The lefty-lefty matchup doesn't work as Ankiel takes the first pitch of the seventh inning deep the other way for his fourth home run. Ankiel is two for four today with a double and a homer, and has homered every 7.75 at bats. McGwire is the career leader in that category at 10.6. Bonds in 2001 and McGwire in 1998 were the only two players to be under 8.0 for a full season.

Update: The rain keeps coming down, and the tarp is out in the bottom of the seventh.

Update: The game resumes and the Cardinals hold on to win 6-4. They manage to cut their losses to one game in the standings to Chicago.
