last night's win

Cruising at a nice clip. A 6-run win last night helps the cause. Working against that, only 2.9 R/G over the last 7. The offense is a drag on the score.

Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals' recent 1-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves starkly highlights their struggles, but the silver lining came from the unexpected resilience of their bats, led by Jordan Walker, who drove in four runs in a thrilling 11-5 comeback win in a prior game. With a record now standing at 44-39, the Cardinals have dropped two of their last three and sport a grim 2-4 record over the last week with a disheartening run differential of -14. Meanwhile, Dustin May's first-inning exit due to an ankle contusion raised concerns, but with X-rays coming back negative, fans can breathe a sigh of relief,at least for now. The team must find consistency quickly, as the Braves loom again, and their recent youth movement brings both promise and uncertainty to their roster.
