Right in the middle for a reason. The arms have been stingy at 2.6 RA/G. But the bats at 2.7 R/G are the biggest drag right now.

Cardinals News

Jordan Walker solidified his reputation as an MVP candidate with yet another outstanding performance, but the Cardinals couldn't capitalize on that momentum during their 4-2 loss to the Padres. With their record now at 23-15, the team is showing resilience, particularly in high-pressure situations that often derail younger squads. Dustin May delivered a commendable start, keeping the Padres hitless until the fifth, but the Cardinals' bats fell flat when it mattered most, leaving them searching for that elusive big hit. Meanwhile, the organization’s future looks bright as Liam Doyle continues to impress in the minors, showcasing a promising strikeout ability. As the Cardinals gear up for another crack at San Diego, their ability to rise in clutch moments will be put to the test again.
