Sonny Gray’s Friday performance tied Bob Gibson for the fourth highest game score for a 9 inning game in Cardinals history - 96.

For those unfamiliar with game score, it was developed by Bill James… explained here - https://www.mlb.com/glossary/advanced-stats/game-score

For reference, Gibson’s 17 K game 1 in ‘68 scored a 93. The highest all time for a 9 inning game was Kerry Wood’s 20 K game - 105.

Any guesses of the top 3 Cardinals pitching performances?

Here are the years they were pitched -

1960
2013
2016

Broglio is correct! He struck out 14 Cubs, allowed 1 hit & walked 2. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxe ... 7150.shtml

No on the other 2.
