Cardinals take 3 of 4 from Reds in St.Louis
The Cardinals (44-41) took 3 games of a 4 game series with the Reds over the weekend in St.Louis. The Cardinals are now within 3 games of the Brewers and occupy the 3rd wild card spot.
The Cardinals offense was explosive this series scoring a total of 41 runs and hitting a dozen homeruns. In the meantime the pitching was just as good allowing only 9 runs total in the series. This is the first series since the beginning of the season that both the pitching and hitting was on the same page the entire series.
The Cardinals will now travel to Pittsburgh for a 3 game series with the Pirates.
