The fourth game of this series continued the trend of the precedent ones with low scoring and a pitching domination by both sides, the starters have been Lynn and Kennedy both made a solid outing, Lynn fastball has been perfect since the 3rd inning and along with his great shape on the plate he deserved to be the MVP of the match brain a leader for his team something that fans wanted from him since 2012, Kennedy made just one bad mistake in his game but it has been fatal because the rookie Pham punished him with his first HR of his young career who broke the tie and result the game winning hit.
Cardinals offense seemed to be proved by the key injuries continuing to straggle with the AVG with RISP but they produced a good amount of base runners, the thing is different for the Californian team who despite the acquisitions of Kemp, Norris and the Upton's bros struggle to much even to get on base, they tried too much to search the big hit and against a team like the Cards it has been not a good idea.Both bullpens made a remarkable job and with Rosenthal out due to rest Siegrist shown his potential closing out perfectly the game
