Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals came tantalizingly close to sweeping the Dodgers, falling short in a 9-8 loss that unveiled both strengths and weaknesses within the squad. Despite tallying 10 hits,all singles,against Tarik Skubal, the bullpen faltered in the ninth, undoing the hard work of starting pitcher Quinn Mathews. Meanwhile, the injury bug bites harder as Hunter Dobbins underwent Tommy John surgery, sidelining him until 2026. As the Cardinals sit at a 70-70 record, the team knows it must target a long-term center fielder this offseason, particularly with the looming competition from the Los Angeles Angels, who boast a more cash-flush roster. With offense averaging 6.4 runs per game in the last week, the bats are in decent shape, but the pitching needs to find stability if a playoff push is still on the table.
