Cardinals News

The Cardinals' situation is becoming more precarious as they sit at 52-49, following a narrow 1-0 victory over the Angels that masked deeper issues. With a disappointing 2-5 record in the last week and a run differential of -7, the team is feeling the weight of injuries and struggles at the plate. Max Rajcic's Tommy John surgery adds another layer of challenge to a pitching staff already yearning for stability. Meanwhile, Nolan Gorman's plummeting performance raises questions about his future in St. Louis, and with the trade deadline approaching, names like Andre Pallante and Dustin May could be on the move. On a brighter note, Jordan Walker continues to be a beacon of hope, recently ripping an RBI double that fans can rally behind as they prepare to face the Diamondbacks.

Cardinals fans salute Walker for Derby heroics -- then he rips RBI double

ST. LOUIS -- 10 nights ago, Cardinals fans cheered for Jordan Walker from their living rooms. A westward road trip out of the All-Star break meant a longer layover before those same fans could express their appreciation in person for Walker’s T-Mobile Home Run Derby greatness.
