Too Little, Too Late

It was a weird series for San Diego. They managed to average a respectable 3.7 runs/game, but talk about late starters--they never scored until St. Louis scored at least four runs! In the series' three games, they started down 8-0, 4-0, and 7-0. But, despite that, San Diego amazingly got the tying run to the plate in all three games before losing 8-5, 6-2, and 7-4! Check out the composite boxscore:

STL  2 4 5  2 6 0  1 1 0
SD   0 0 0  0 2 0  3 3 3

First six innings: Cards 19-2
Final three innings: Padres 9-2

So there must be a crazy starter/bullpen split, right? Yeah, you can say that.

The Cards' bullpen better revert back its regular season 3.22 selves, or else it may be trouble next time!

Extra Esoterica:
I wonder if this is the first series in which every run total was unique. Easier to show than to describe: the Pads scored 2, 4, and 5 runs, and the Cards 6, 7, and 8 runs...no repeats!
