During the Cardinals 9-to-6 win on
Friday afternoon in Chicago at Wrigley over the Cubbies, the team set the
franchise record for the amount of home runs with five total.
The Cardinals improved overall to
prevail with seven wins in there last eight ball games following todays win
after just going 6-1 on the home-stand in which they swept the Cubs in three
games; and winning three of four against the Dodgers.
The team got home runs today from Matt
Holliday (first inning), Yadier Molina (second inning), Lance Berkman (third
inning), Matt Carpenter (fourth inning), and Allen Craig (fifth inning) as
well.
Berkman's blast in the top half of the
third inning was a solo bomb that resulted as his 12,000 RBI of his amazingly
productive career.
The home run from Molina that occured
in the second inning was the only homer of the five from the team that wasn't a
solo home run--instead, it was a two-run dinger.
During the current 7-1 stretch that
the Cardinals are currently on, the offense has drove in an overly-impressive
total of 53 runs.
