Cardinals News
Adam Wainwright’s milestone of 200 career wins is being spotlighted as a potential ticket to the Hall of Fame, but it feels overshadowed by the Cardinals’ inconsistency as they wrap up another disappointing season at 77-81. Despite yesterday's 5-1 win against the Pirates, the recent 2-5 stretch, marked by a troubling -15 run differential, raises more concerns than cheers. Meanwhile, Alec Burleson continues to shine, hitting a solo homer and consistently making an impact against Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes. In roster moves, the Cardinals optioned Cooper Hjerpe back to Triple-A after a promising debut, likely eyeing him for next season’s rotation. Overall, the excitement of Wainwright’s achievement and Burleson’s hot bat is hard to savor amid the team’s lackluster finish, leaving fans questioning what lies ahead.
