Joel Pineiro ('98): 4IP, 7H, 4R, 0BB, 3K, Loss
Ryan Franklin (Foxes, '94): IP, H, 0R, K
Dodgers win and the Cardinals are out.
In what he eagerly accepted as the biggest start of his career, Cardinals pitcher Joel Piñeiro didn't need his ragged pitching line or even the final score to tell him how poorly Saturday went.
He knew by his number of at-bats.
"As a pitcher, when you get one at-bat, it's not a good sign," said Piñeiro on Saturday after taking the loss in the Cardinals' 5-1 elimination from the postseason by the Los Angeles Dodgers. "That means it's not working for us. It's tough. It's hard to swallow. ... I didn't step up to what I had to do. Bad start. I take all of the blame for it. I take full blame for it.
