Fernando Salas blew his second save of the year in Sunday's late-innings win over the Royals.
Salas surrendered a towering game-tying home run to Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar in the top of the ninth inning. The right-hander was able to get out of the frame and the Cardinals picked up the victory thanks to Skip Schumaker's walkoff shot in the bottom of the ninth, but it's another pock mark on an ugly June for Salas. The Cards don't really have a better option at the moment with Eduardo Sanchez still rehabbing a sore shoulder, but the situation warrants monitoring.
