First Inning


The game began with both teams struggling to find their rhythm offensively. The Cardinals managed just one hit in the first inning while keeping the Dodgers scoreless and hitless. This set the tone for a defensive battle that would continue throughout much of the game.


Middle Innings


As the innings progressed, both teams' pitchers dominated on the mound. The Cards' starter showed impressive control by allowing only four hits through five innings without conceding any runs. Meanwhile, despite their efforts, Los Angeles could not capitalize on their opportunities as they left several runners stranded on base during these middle frames.

Eighth Inning


It wasn't until late in this tight matchup that things started to heat up offensively for St. Louis when they finally broke through against L.A.'s bullpen during an exciting eighth inning rally which saw them score one run thanks largely due to timely hitting from key players like Nolan Arenado who had been consistent all night long with his bat work - finishing perfect at plate going three-for-three overall!


Ninth Inning


In what proved pivotal moment within ninth frame itself; another crucial run added by Redbirds secured victory after some tense moments where visitors threatened comeback attempt but ultimately fell short despite valiant effort put forth especially considering how well pitched throughout contest overall too!
