Dodgers 8-11-0
Cardinals 5-10-1
LAD wins series 3-2
The Cardinals 2022 season has come to an end. And in this particular NLDS matchup, the road team won every game of the series. So much for competing for home field.
The Cardinals night got off to an ugly start as just 4 pitches into his night, Jack Flaherty would leave the game with an elbow injury. Good news is that he'll be ready for Spring Training in February.
Flaherty gave up a single to Mookie Betts on a 2-1 pitch and that was his night. The Cardinals turned to Max Scherzer who proceeded to walk Gavin Lux on 4 pitches, and then his first pitch to Corey Seager was a line drive double down the right field line plating two. Two batters later, after Bellinger lined out, Will Smith deposited a 1-1 fastball into the left field seats and by the time the first inning concluded, the Dodgers led 4-0.
An inning later, Mookie Betts would send a deep flyball to the center field grass for a solo shot that put the Dodgers up 5-0 and chased Scherzer from the game. Kwang Hyun Kim would enter in the 2nd inning and pitch thru the 5th inning keeping the Dodgers from adding on more. In the bottom of the 5th, pinch hitter Matt Carpenter would single home Tyler O'Neill as the Cards made it 5-1.
Paul Goldschmidt would double home Tommy Edman one inning later and the Cards trailed 5-2. After Arenado struck out, Paul DeJong launched a massive homerun into left center cutting the lead to one, 5-4.
The score would remain 5-4 until the 8th when A.J. Pollock hit a 2 out, 2 strike grand slam off of Hansel Robles to make the score 8-4. The Cards would get one in the bottom of the 8th on a Dylan Carlson pinch hit homerun, but that would be it.
The Cardinals will now turn their attention to the offseason as they look to fill missing pieces that will hopefully build upon a successful 2022 season and defend their NL Central Division crown and hopefully advance them beyond the NLDS.
Goodbye 2022 season, it was a hell of a ride.
Bring on the Winter Meetings.
