Game 60 - Saturday Afternoon, June 10th in St. Louis
Record - 21-39, 5th place, 16 1/2 games behind the Nationals
One Sentence Summary: Carlos Martinez pitched a complete game shutout for the Cardinals, limiting the Phillies to just four hits.
What It Means: Their four-game winning streak is now a distant memory and the Phillies are now in the middle of a four-game losing streak.
What Happened: Two of the four hits were provided by Tommy Joseph. Nick Pivetta (5 innings, 4 runs on 4 hits) and Jeanmar Gomez (1 inning, 3 runs on 2 hits) were the Cardinals' victims in this game.
Featured Card: Nick Pivetta picked off two baserunners in the first inning, becoming the first right-handed Phillies pitcher with two pick-offs in the same game since Freddie Toliver did it on August 20, 1987. And now you know. (Via Matt Gelb on Twitter.)
