Ian Kennedy held the Cardinals to two runs Monday while striking out eight over seven innings in the 6-2 victory.

Kennedy allowed back-to-back doubles in the first and a two-out RBI single in the seventh, but he was pretty filthy in between, showing excellent command and a nasty Vulcan changeup. The righty's 2011 season will likely end up being an outlier, but his 2010 and 2012 version is still pretty darn good.
