Matt Holliday, who dropped a fly ball by James Loney in the ninth with two outs to set in motion the Dodgers’ rally over the Cardinals, said he lost it in the lights at Dodger Stadium.

“I couldn’t see the ball. I lost in the lights.

“I had it in the beginning but then the ball came down through the lights and I lost it.

“When that happens, you hope it hits your body or hits your glove.

“I just lost it.

“Tough to swallow. I feel terrible.

“The ball hit my stomach. I think I can catch a fly ball hit right at me.

“Wainwright pitched a good game, the bullpen did its job. I just didn’t catch it.”

Holliday had homered for the Cardinals to give them a 1-0 lead earlier in the game.

It has been a rough series so far for the Cardinals’ big off-season acquisition. He struck out with the bases loaded in the first inning when St. Louis had a chance to break that game wide open. The Cards lost it, as well, and are now down 0-2.
