Game 71 - Tuesday Night, June 19th in Philadelphia
Record - 38-33, 3rd place, 4 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Seranthony Dominguez proved he was human, allowing a solo home run to Matt Carpenter in the 9th, sending the Cardinals to a 7-6 win.
What It Means: Dominguez should have had some cushion, but Tommy Hunter allowed two inherited runners to score along with two runs of his own in the four-run Cardinals 7th inning. Hunter has allowed at least one run in 8 of his last 22 appearances, owning a 5.50 ERA during that time. (Per Tweet from Ryan Lawrence.)
What Happened: With the Cardinals up 6-4 in the 8th, Rhys Hoskins hit a two-run double to tie up the ballgame. The Carpenter home run in the 9th untied it.
Odubel Herrera (11) and Carlos Santana (11) had homered earlier. Vince Velasquez struck out 8 and was tagged for four runs in his 6 1/3 innings of work.
Featured Card: In the 4th inning, J.P. Crawford was hit on his left hand with a 98mph fastball from Luke Weaver and it was announced after the game that Crawford's hand was broken. This is obviously a tough break (no pun intended) for the rookie infielder, and his rough season continues.
