Well, at least the Cardinals are on the board and there's still plenty of time for more.

More than one run would have been nice, though. And more than one was a pretty good bet.

Carlos Beltran led off the fourth with a walk against Gio Gonzalez, who'd been so good in the first three frames. When Matt Holliday followed with a drive down the left-field line, Beltran sprinted home and Holliday wound up on second. But Gonzalez got Allen Craig on a grounder and Yadier Molina, and Gonzalez stranded Holliday on third base by striking out David Freese.

So they got just one run, and it's still 6-1 after four innings. The good news is that Joe Kelly's pitching a lot better than Adam Wainwright did. The bad news is that it's 6-1 after four innings.
