Miller cards are misplaced, the Padres carrying 6-4; Reyes, Munoz headed to Memphis | Cardinal Beat

A 3-2 Cardinals lead quickly evaporated and the veteran, southpaw reliever, heard screams after the second game.

The Padres beat for a 6-4 win, their second here in two days. San Diego has 16-31 here since the opening of Busch Stadium III in 2006, but the Padres are 6-2 here in the last three seasons, winning three consecutive series at Busch.

In 3 1/3 of the round this year, Miller has allowed six points (four deserved), has traveled four and has allocated three circuits.

After the game, the Cardinals made their first decisive blow of the season by opting for pitcher Alex Reyes in the AAA class Memphis. His role with the Redbirds will be determined, but the team wants to ensure that he gets regular work and consistent heats so he can find a command that he lacks in high leverage positions.

Reyes had allowed five runs and six walks in three sets this season.

Later yesterday evening, field player Yairo Munoz, who is one for four until now this season, has been informed that he too would be opted for Memphis. That means the Cardinals will leave with only four more men and 13 throwers for the moment. The pitcher Daniel Ponce de Leon, who was leaving Sunday for Memphis, is one of the launchers almost certain. Genesis Cabrera and veteran Tyler Webb have two left-handed readings in the line-up of 40 people, one or the other.

Manager Mike Shildt, without confirming anything, the changes will be announced Sunday, said the club needed immediate help for the pen, indicating the frequency with which the replacements had already been used.

"We have to make sure we are fresh," said Shildt.

Shildt, speaking of Miller, said: "He makes good shots, but is not enough."

For his part, Miller said, "I have to do my job, I have to start more strikes, free passes kill me."

Marcell Ozuna scored for the Cardinals with two 455-foot circuits. Dexter Fowler has reached the base four times although he was the victim of a mistake once. And Michael Wacha has somehow sailed in eight outings by tuning only one point in five innings and two-thirds.

Wacha scored seven goals out of a total of seven 119 shots. Goldschmidt did nothing for five hours, except for his mistake.

Marcell Ozuna had only one more shot in the first eight games of the Cardinals. But when we saw Robert Hills, a former Cardinals farmer, a 3-2 slugger at 82 mph, in the fifth inning, Ozuna landed on it for 455 feet on a two-run circuit as the Cardinals took their first advance of the match against the San. Diego Padres at 3-1.

Matt Carpenter chose to open the fifth of the Cardinals and found himself second after Paul Goldschmidt flew to the far right. Paul DeJong was stoked before Ozuna clinched his first run of the season at the back of the field.

John Gant released Michael Wacha's starter from sixth on sixth place by forcing Ian Kinsler to commit a foul. Wacha has had an eight-year career high, but has seven, while allowing only three hits and one point while scoring 119 career shots.

Gant cleared Eric Hosmer's seventh-place circuit, but the Cardinals took a 3-2 lead in the eighth.

Right-handed cardinals Michael Wacha were hard on six San Diego forwards in the first three races Saturday at Busch Stadium. But only one of these walks scored as the teams were tied 1-1 by the fourth.

The Cardinals were helped by a mistake by San Diego second baseman Ian Kinsler when they scored their point at second base. Yadier Molina, who was two years old for 28 years, made a name for himself and came in third when Kinsler tried to overthrow Dexter Fowler's striker and then play a double game. The ball went into the field. .

Molina went to third place, but when Manny Machado played the third goal, Fowler started for the second goal and was eventually defeated. Molina, who was absent early in the game, finished third and came home with Kolten Wong's sacrifice, which earned her seven points against the Cardinals' first eight games.

San Diego pitchers Chris Paddack and Robert Stock had a total of five goals in the top four and none of them scored.

No one really knew what role Alex Reyes would play for the Cardinals starter or corrector – and this question is no closer to the answer after Reyes' first four outings. The young right-hander was limited to three innings, allowing five points and six points in first in his first action extended in two years.

"It's been a long time since he's been able to compete," manager Mike Shildt said. "And we ask him to do it at the level of the big leagues, in situations of high indebtedness. In the end, it's my decision.

"I have a lot of confidence in Alex and we will always trust Alex. He is a special young man with special skills and abilities.

But Shildt confessed, "It's a difficult point, to have a guy get the job he needs to get that level. We always think about how a guy is used.

"You want to stay patient and you want to trust the guys. We do not always want to react too much, but we do not want to under-react. "

In short, Shildt said, "This game is based on consistency."

When asked if Reyes would do better with multi-run relays, Shildt replied, "Your ability to lie down is based on your effectiveness." "

"In the end, it comes down to controlling the number and being effective."

Reyes surveyed three of San Diego's seven Padres that he faced on Friday and allowed one circuit to travel to another.

There had been mention of Reyes, who had undergone elbow and shoulder surgeries in the past two seasons, beginning at some point this season, so that he was ready to start the surgery. next year. And baseball operations president John Mozeliak said he did not want to look up and see that Reyes only had 50 innings pitched at the end of the season.

Shildt said, "It's a crystal ball I do not have at the moment. I still think he has the ability to do it. There are many different moving parts to that – if we have a team that needs it. This could always be a possibility

"But I can not say that for the moment, we are trying to say," How are we going to find a way to make sure that Alex Reyes starts at the end of the season? "For the moment we evaluate what he does. how he does it and where he is. "
