Littell Arrives as Cardinal with First Save Against Braves
Mark Littell finally arrived in the National League by earning his first save for the St. Louis Cardinals in a 2-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves. The right-hander, traded from Kansas City for Al Hrabosky, relieved Pete Vuckovich in the eighth, striking out three of four Braves faced, and Ken Reitz later provided insurance with an eighth inning RBI. Reitz and Littell cited the team’s scoring trouble as a reason for Littell’s slow start, while fellow infielder noted the quality pitching and defense could drive more runs.
