Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals are in dire straits, holding a lackluster 51-49 record after a painful 1-5 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. They’ve faltered over the last week with a dismal 2-5 stretch, and the urgency is palpable. Yesterday, Hunter Dobbins delivered a commendable six scoreless innings, but the inconsistent offense, averaging just 3.6 runs per game, leaves much to be desired. With Ivan Herrera showing signs of wear from a grueling season, it might be time for Oli Marmol to give him a breather. Meanwhile, a familiar face, Tommy Edman, continues to shine for the Dodgers, while Jordan Walker remains a beacon of hope, recently climbing to the top of the Hitter Power Rankings yet again. The Cardinals must turn things around fast or face a bleak second half.
