Mat Latos was hammered in a losing effort against the Cardinals on Friday, allowing seven runs on nine hits over his five frames. Latos fanned five while walking one in the game. He allowed single runs in the second and fourth innings before everything came tumbling down in the sixth. Allen Craig delivered the big blow with a three-run bomb after the first two reached in the inning, and Yadier Molina immediately followed with a solo shot of his own. He'll take a 10-4 record, 3.84 ERA and 145/50 K/BB ratio into Arizona where he'll take on the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
