"Alfonso Soriano didn't make any errors in Tuesday night's game against the Cardinals and made a couple of nice catches.

But Soriano also had three defensive miscues that made most fans wince, including one play in which he fell on his rear and watched a ball soar over his head for a triple.

"Soriano made two of the best plays I've seen him make," manager Mike Quade said Wednesday. "And then he slips and falls."

Quade had a talk with Soriano in Los Angeles about not running hard on a pop-up that wound up a single instead of a double. He liked the effort on the ball he fell down on Tuesday, if not the result."
