Nature supplies the rain, Cardinals supply the thunder.
In a game featuring two rain delays, the Cardinals poured it on the Braves by pounding out 18 hits and 13 runs. Danny Cox picked up the win, only going six innings after his arm stiffened up after a rain delay of almost an hour and a half.
Manager notes ..
Really wanted Cox to get his first CG, but his arm stiffened up and I had to remove him. Had to remove Lahti as well as his arm stiffened up after a delay of over an hour. So the pen got some work, and Campbell still hasn’t given up an earned run the entire year. I dug into the bench to get guys an AB or two. I double switched in Braun for Clark getting him a couple, he hadn’t played in a while so that was good.
