Cardinals News

Alec Burleson is making history for the St. Louis Cardinals, notching his MLB-leading 116th RBI and joining Stan Musial in the franchise's elite circle, but the team fell short yet again, losing 4-8 to the Milwaukee Brewers. With a dismal 2-5 record over the last week and a run differential of -12, the Cardinals' struggles are palpable as they get ready for their final games of the season. Jordan Walker's rollercoaster year continues as he grapples with the ups and downs of his breakout season, raising questions about his consistency moving forward. Meanwhile, Michael McGreevy's optimism offers a glimmer of hope for a brighter future, but the immediate focus needs to shift to turning around the disappointing finish to this season.
