Pass the Jameson! Jameson Taillon gave up a two-run homer to Pedro Pages (Who?).
The catcher (who is hitting .132, that’s who), and that was all the Cards needed as they held off the Cubs, 2-1.
With two out and two on in the ninth inning Patrick Wisdom’s screamer landed just short of the ivy out in left field.
We will try to turn the Pages, Pedro, your homer has us at -676 dechambeaus.
Pass the Jameson!
