Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke twirled a gem but wasn't a factor into the decision in Game 2 of the National League Division Series at home against the Cardinals on Saturday.
Greinke fired seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball. He was pulled for J.P. Howell in the eighth inning, who allowed a game-tying two-run home run to Matt Carpenter, knocking Greinke out of the decision. Greinke struck out seven and walked two in a 3-2 win. He tossed 103 pitches, 71 of which were strikes.
In 31 career starts at Dodger Stadium, Greinke has posted a 2.24 ERA with a 209:40 L:BB ratio over 205 1/3 innings. He has yet to allow more than four earned runs in a start at home for the Dodgers.
