The score reflects some real issues. Winning just 1 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down. Making it worse, pitching at 8.6 RA/G. That's a problem.

Cardinals News
The St. Louis Cardinals are sinking deeper into a pit of despair after another brutal loss to the Baltimore Orioles, this time by a staggering 12 runs, driving their recent record to a dismal 2-5 with a run differential of -21 over that span. The once-promising season feels like a distant memory as they sit at 66-67, a stark reminder of the inconsistency that has plagued this team. Michael McGreevy, who took the mound last night, struggled to find his footing, and the search for reliable pitching continues, with closer Riley O'Brien on a downward spiral after his earlier success. Meanwhile, fans appear to have unrealistic expectations for mega-prospect Rainiel Rodriguez, expecting him to replicate Anthony Rizzo's success, a sentiment that seems blind to the realities of player development. With frustrations mounting and the season slipping away, the Cardinals need to regroup, or risk losing their grip on any hope for a respectable finish.
