last night's loss

Rock bottom territory. Dropping one by 12 last night stings. Also weighing on the score: going 2-5 lately. That drags everything down.

Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals are in a tailspin, now sitting at a .500 record of 66-66, and their situation worsened with the news that Masyn Winn has been placed on the injured list with a left thumb fracture. This injury hits hard, as Winn has become a Gold Glove-caliber shortstop, forcing the team to rely on the recalled Nolan Gorman for a crucial September audition amid a mediocre 3-4 stretch over the last week. With a -8 run differential and a pitching staff allowing 5.7 runs per game, the Cardinals face an uphill battle against the Baltimore Orioles. Meanwhile, the shining lights in the minors, top prospects Rainiel Rodriguez and Liam Doyle, continue to dominate, hinting at a glimmer of hope for the future in an otherwise lukewarm present.
