a rough stretch

Hard to feel good about the data. Only 2 of the last 7 in the win column. Compounding things, down by 3 last night. That result hits the score hard.

Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals dropped another close one to the Texas Rangers, this time 2-1, continuing a dismal 2-5 stretch that has fans questioning the direction of the team. With an anemic 2.1 runs per game over the last week, the struggles at the plate are glaring, especially for Nolan Gorman, who appears lost in his approach and may need a break in favor of hot prospect Blaze Jordan. Meanwhile, Hunter Dobbins shined in relief with 3.2 innings of solid work, but it's hard to overlook the missed opportunities that continue to plague this squad. At 31-27, the Cardinals sit two games out in the division, and the urgency to reverse this trend has never been greater as they face the Rangers again.
