NLCS Game 1 - "Merry Ellis"

GAME 1
Busch Stadium
Greinke vs J.Kelly
Dodgers 12, Cardinals 2


 

LA scored early and often as the men from La-La land chased Cardinal starter Joe Kelly from the game after scoring 7 runs on 7 hits in 3 1/3 innings.  Dodger hurler Zack Greinke left after 7 shutout inning up by a ton.  Everyone in the Dodger lineup, including the pinch hitters had a hit, except for Silver Slugger Greinke, who didn't mind one bit.  Light hitting second baseman Mark Ellis, who had just 6 homers during the regular season had 2 in this game.  He would knock in 3 runs, as would rookie sensation Yasiel Puig (3-4).  Catcher AJ Ellis would also go yard and collect 3 hits.  St. Louis finally got on the board scoring 2 runs in the bottom of the 8th off of long reliever Edinson Volquez.  LA would score 12 runs on 18 hits to draw first blood in this best of 7 series.
Dodgers lead series 1-0
