Cardinals News
In a day that will surely be etched in St. Louis baseball lore, rookie Joshua Báez made a sensational debut against the Chicago Cubs, becoming the first player in MLB history to homer three times in his first game, leading the Cardinals to an 8-4 victory. Báez didn’t waste any time, launching his first home run on the very first pitch he saw, followed by two more to cement his place in the record books. While the Cardinals have struggled recently, hovering at a .500 record (61-61), Báez’s explosive entrance offers a glimmer of hope for fans starved for excitement. With players like Báez stepping up, the Cardinals have a chance to shift their momentum, especially against division rivals who’ve outplayed them in prior matchups.
