Game 130: Two Three-Run HR's Lift Cards Over Nationals...9-4 Final.

by Patrick Reddington on Aug 29, 2009 10:34 PM EDT

DC righty Craig Stammen (- 0.240) has got to be the G0At...Stammen allows 4 H, 4 BB and 3 ER in 4.2 IP. Jorge Sosa (- 0.033) struggles again. Ron Villone (- 0.136) comes on to face one lefty and gives up a HR to right. (4 for 4) Pete Orr (+ 0.123) is perfect at the plate...But Matt Holliday (+ 0.241) makes DC pay for walking Albert Pujols in front of him, and hits a 3-run HR in the third and Colby Rasmus (+ 0.110) hits his own 3-run blast in the fifth to put it out of reach.

Cardinals win, 9-4 final.

(....whispers)

Belliard is hitting .325 with five doubles, three home runs and 14 RBIs in 33 games since the All-Star break.

Belliard is second on the team in August with a .367 batting average. He is hitting .409 in his past nine games with a double, grand slam, six RBIs and four runs scored.

The message from Ronnie Belliard is simple: Just let him play!!!!

"I Never Want the First Pick Again."
