Ramirez Hits Pair Of Bombs In 13 Inning Marathon

The St. Louis Cardinals jumped out to an early 4-0 lead this afternoon in Washington on a pair of Manny Ramirez homeruns, each scoring Albert Pujols whose singles proceeded the bombs.

The lead would be short lived as the Nationals would storm back on a big inning as Chris Carpenter would surrender a pair of homeruns to Ryan Zimmerman and Elijah Dukes in the fourth inning as the Nationals would take a 6-4 lead into the top of the ninth where the Cards would tie the game on an RBI double by Khalil Greene and an RBI single by Yadier Molina.

Each club would trade runs in the 12th as Ryan Ludwick would hit a solo homerun before Nick Johnson would tie the game once more in the bottom of the 12th with an RBI single.

Khalil Greene would come up large once again in the 13th as he would drive in the winning run with his 2nd double of the contest.

"It felt great to be a big part of a win like this. Does a lot for me to help the team", said Khalil post game.

Ryan Ludwick was 4-7 with a double, a homerun and an RBI while Albert Pujols was 3-6, scoring twice.

Manny Ramirez homeruns were his 6th and 7th on the season and his 3rd in his last two games.

Chris Carpenter had his second consecutive rough start tossing 6 innings, allowing 5 earned runs on 7 hits while fanning 3. The emerging ace of the Cards bullpen, Brad Thompson, was huge tonight tossing 4 1/3 innings of relief, allowing 4 hits while striking out 3 bringing his ERA to 2.96 on the season.

Collin Balester was solid for the Nationals only allowing 5 hits in 7 innings, although he allowed 4 earned runs while fanning 6 before St. Louis would explode for 12 hits over the final 5 innings of play.
