last night's loss

Good place to be. A 2-run loss last night is the biggest weight on the score. But only 2 on the IL. Health is a factor.

Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals are feeling the heat as today’s roster shakeup adds outfielder Everson Pereira while designating Nelson Velázquez for assignment. This move follows a tightly contested win over the Rockies, where the erratic Matthew Liberatore struggled, allowing five runs in five innings during an 8-6 loss. The Cardinals, sitting at 58-58, must find consistency to rise from their third-place position in the division. Meanwhile, promising news about pitching prospect Tekoah Roby’s recovery from Tommy John surgery offers a glimmer of hope for the future. As the Cardinals navigate the remainder of the season, they’ll need to build on their recent pitching dominance, which has held opponents to just 3.0 runs per game over the past week, to keep their playoff hopes alive.
