In the previous night’s game, Corey Kluber had fanned 18 Cardinals in eight innings (unfortunately, of all the Indians games I have scored over the years I do not have the best pitching performance of that time). Trevor Bauer followed him up by pitching well, and led 1-0 heading into the eighth backed by a Michael Brantley solo homer. Cleveland also had missed opportunities with two runners thrown out at home.
Bauer walked Peter Bourjos and left after making 110 pitches over 7 1/3, walking three and fanning ten. Former Cardinal Mark Rzepczynski was summoned and surrendered a two-run shot to Matt Carpenter that gave St. Louis a 2-1 victory.
