Young at Heart
Eric Young homers leading off the 8th inning. He pinch hit for Roberts. Young had two homers all year, both in August.
This is where the Cardinals miss Al Reyes. Despite your earlier post, there is quite a bit of drop off from Reyes to Thompson and Flores when it comes to a thing called hits and opponents batting average.
Al Reyes doesn't give up many hits, period (.175 average vs left and right). Flores is good vs. lefties (1.75 I think) but not so good vs righties (.300).
