GIANTS 6 CARDINALS 5 F...REDBIRDS blow up in the 8th as MORSE and "PANDA Smash" go Deep for GIGANTES and CRAIG goes DEEP for the REDBIRDS..."A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report" a Four-Piece from Baseball Town USA featuring some Heavy-Hitters! #SFvsSTL #SFGHeadlines #STLCards

With the score 5-3 heading into the 8th with the Home Team dba Redbirds of St. Louis holding that #5 and the Visiting Team dba San Fran Hardball things uncharacteristically blew up in the Cards Face.

As both Starters in Giants Ryan Vogelsong (6.1 IP 7 H 4 R 3 BB 5 SO HR) and Cardinals Jaime Garcia (7 IP 5 H 3 R 7 SO 2 HR) long gone getting No Decisions the Cards Reliever Carlos Martinez gets rocked with the help of a costly throwing error. With Giants Gregory Blanco on 2nd Angel Pagan singles scoring him tying it up 4-4 Cards as throwing error by Cards CF Peter Bourjos advances Pagan to 2nd. The Cards then intentionally walk "Panda Smash Pablo Sandoval to get to Mike Morse who takes Cards Captain Save-A-Game Trevor Rosenthal for a double scoring both Pagan and Sandoval for a Giants 6-4 lead just like that.

San Fran then leading 6-4 gets into some trouble as the redbirds score one more run in the bottom half of the 9th as Sergio Romo gets his 17th Save of 2014. Morse and "Panda Smash" both go Solo Bombs early with the Cards Allen Craig going Solo Bomb as well.

Giants lead the NL West with an MLB Best W-L of 35-19. The Redbirds fall to 29-25 as they are still 2nd in the NL Central as this four-piece is more critical for the Redbirds heading into June Hardball and playing in the Home Dugout!
