Just to add a couple of comments, these
teams came in to the series tied for the NL East lead, so the
series win
gets the Phillies the division crown.
In
the first game Del Ennis stroked a two-out, run scoring single in the
bottom of the first inning to plate what turned out to be the only run
of the game. The Cardinals had a few threats during the game, but could
not get that key hit like Ennis provided the Phightins'.
The
rubber game saw the Phillies jump all over Ray Sadecki in the first.
Ironically I hesitated starting Sadecki, who I moved up a day in the
rotation but was still on full rest. He was coming off two straight
complete game shutouts, and while he was going well my thought was "he's
probably due to get shelled since he has at least an 18 consecutive
scoreless innings streak going". Sure enough, he got shelled. Should
have gone with "gut feel" instead of logic. :-)
