Cardinals News
Jordan Walker continues to dazzle, blasting his third homer in just four games to help the Cardinals rally past the Nationals 7-6, a much-needed victory after a frustrating stretch. With a .314 batting average, Walker is proving to be the offensive spark the team needs as they hover around .500 at 5-5. Nolan Gorman also shined with three hits and a critical defensive play, highlighting the potential this lineup possesses despite recent inconsistencies. Meanwhile, the shadow of former Cardinal Michael Wacha looms large as he stakes his claim in Royals history, adding tension to the longstanding I-70 rivalry. As the Cardinals aim to build momentum, they must address their shaky pitching, which has allowed an average of 5.5 runs per game over the last week. The stakes will be high as they face the Nationals again, looking to solidify their position in the division.
