Carpenter sharp as Cards blank O's
03/18/2006
Cardinals at the plate: John Rodriguez walked in the second inning and scored from first on Yadier Molina's double to the left-center gap. John Gall drove in two runs with a double in the third inning, and Rodriguez followed with a run-scoring single. Chris Duncan and Brian Daubach contributed sacrifice flies for the road team.
Orioles at the plate: Luis Matos and Ramon Hernandez were the only Orioles to reach base against Chris Carpenter. Matos singled in the fourth and was erased on a double play. Hernandez singled in the fifth. Javy Lopez doubled down the right-field line in the seventh inning, and Luis Lopez hit a double in the eighth.
Cardinals on the mound: Carpenter was untouchable, working five innings and facing just one batter over the minimum. The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner pitched three hitless innings before allowing a single in the fourth, and he erased that runner with a double play. Juan Mateo and Alan Benes pitched scoreless relief innings.
Orioles on the mound: Bruce Chen got knocked around, allowing six hits and six runs in four innings. St. Louis worked him over for four runs in the third inning. Chen walked three batters and allowed two runs on sacrifice flies. Jim Brower, Tim Byrdak and LaTroy Hawkins worked scoreless innings for Baltimore.
Grapefruit League records: Cardinals 9-7-1; Orioles 7-10.
