St. Louis Cardinals vs. Milwaukee Brewers - Game 52 open thread - June 2, 2015

The first-place St. Louis Cardinals squandered an excellent start by Jaime Garcia last night against the last-place Milwaukee Brewers. The Cardinals put 12 base-runners on, but failed to knock any of them in. The team's 1-0 loss earned Garcia a pitching "loss" and will forever stand as an example of how silly that stat is and why no one should ever use it.

Oh and this happened at Busch Stadium this afternoon:
