Cardinals Drop 2 of 3 to Phillies in St.Louis
The Cardinals (7-6) dropped another 3 game series at home, this time to the Phillies.
The Cards won Monday night in a thrilling comeback against the Phillies where they scored 4 runs in the final two innings to tie the game and then walked it off in the 10th on a Willson Contreras single. But they would get beat on Tuesday night by Zach Wheeler and on Wednesday afternoon, would waste a beautiful start by Miles Mikolas and lose in extra innings this time.
Nolan Arenado did hit his first homerun of the 2024 season, so hopefully this is a sign that things will turn around. Arenado has just one homerun with 2 RBIs to got with a .187 average thru the first two weeks of the season.
The Cardinals are off on Thursday as they travel west to face the Diamondbacks for a 3 game weekend series in Arizona, and then follow that up with a 3 game series in Oakland against the competitive A's.
