WE ARE HEADED TOTHE BOTTOM OF THE FOURTH--------
The St. Louis Cardinals are currently leading Game 2 of their NLDS against the Washington Nationals, 4-1.
The middle of their order created havoc for Nationals' starter Jordan Zimmermann in the second inning.
To no surprise, it was the Cardinals' middle of the order that got the trouble started in the bottom half of the inning.
Allen Craig got a single past third baseman Ryan Zimmerman to lead off the inning. Yadier Molina followed with a base hit to center fielder Bryce Harper. Then last year's hero, David Freese, tied the game at one with a double to center field. Craig scored and Molina stayed at third.
Daniel Descalso then gave the Cardinals the lead with a base hit to right field, scoring Molina.
Skip Schumaker grounded into a force, which brought in the third Cardinal run of the game. Then John Jay followed with a opposite field hit to left field, scoring Descalso from third.
Schumaker pinch hit for Jaime Garcia, the Cardinals starter, who was removed from the game after struggling through the first two innings of the game. He gave up one run on two hits, walked three and struck out three.
In for Garcia is Lance Lynn.
