last night's win

Not much is separating the good from the bad. Last night's 4-run victory is the freshest data point. Tempering that, going 2-4 lately. That drags everything down.

Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals are in a tailspin, having dropped their last game to the Chicago Cubs 1-6 at Busch Stadium, which underscores a rough 2-4 week marked by a troubling run differential of -8. In a bid to shake things up, the team designated Matt Pushard for assignment and recalled Hunter Dobbins, hoping the fresh arm can inject some life into the beleaguered bullpen. Meanwhile, the bats are in desperate need of a wake-up call, as the recent offensive struggles are highlighted by a paltry 2.4 runs per game over the last week. The Cardinals sit at 30-26, clinging to third place in the division, and with their next matchup against the Cubs looming, they must find a way to turn this ship around or risk sinking further into mediocrity.

St. Louis Cardinals Bats Come Alive as They Beat the Chicago Cubs 5-1

I can finally say something that I’ve rarely been able to say this season. A Cardinals pitcher got past the 5th inning without dealing with a train wreck. The truth is Matthew Liberatore was as sharp as he’s been all year. That fact combined with the St. Louis Cardinals bats waking up resulted in a […]
