This was a tense one. Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter apparently said something he shouldn’t have after striking out Nyjer Morgan in a 10-pitch at-bat in the ninth inning. Morgan’s teammates had to physically restrain him. Luckily they avoided a brawl; that would be a bad way to end the season series.
Now it’s back home to face a tough Phillies team. The magic number remains 11.
Inertia Wins!
