ST. LOUIS — A day after what one might have considered the St. Louis Cardinals’ most complete effort of the 2025 season, the local nine may have topped themselves in an 8-3 takedown of the Houston Astros on Monday at Busch Stadium. Sonny Gray spun a gem, getting over the hump of the seventh inning in a scoreless outing. Beyond the strong starting pitching, the steady drumbeat of the offense carried the torch.

ST. LOUIS — When St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn exited Friday night’s game against the Phillies with back spasms, the domino effect led to the unique sight of seeing catcher Pedro Pagés on the dirt as the second baseman. With Thomas Saggese shifting to cover for Winn at short and Brendan Donovan less flexible in the early innings due to his status as the designated hitter, it made for a rare lineup quirk.

How Cardinals Split Catching Duties Will Be A Storyline All Year

What I’m about to state is going to sound downright insane, so before I say it, I want to add the preface that I realize it ahead of time. The St. Louis Cardinals are going to have to figure out what to do with Ivan Herrera. Huh? Figure out what to do with him? The guy just hit three home runs in one game, there’s nothing to be done. Write his name into the lineup every single day and reap the benefits. Problem solved. That was easier than the big red button in the old ‘Staples’ commercials.

Cardinals Lose Another In Extras-Still Can't Quite Solve Kyle Hendricks

ST. LOUIS — While the Blues celebrated an improbable come-from-behind win to extend their remarkable streak, those in attendance at Busch Stadium slowly realized they were at the wrong game in downtown St. Louis on Tuesday night. Though he’s on a new team in a new league compared to when he used to torment the St. Louis Cardinals wearing Cubbie Blue, Kyle Hendricks was up to his old tricks again. Hendricks has been the perfect Cardinal kryptonite over the years.

Cleared For Takeoff: A Runway To Cardinals Roster Wasn't Created For Victor Scott II-He Forged One, Anyway

3 weeks ago | sportshubstl.com | Brenden Schaeffer

With just a glance at the spring numbers, the decision for the St. Louis Cardinals to include Victor Scott II on the Opening Day roster seemed fairly obvious. The exuberant outfielder tied for the team lead in home runs and set the pace for stolen bases during Grapefruit League play. He logged a .349/.451/.721 batting line and led all Cardinals regulars with a 1.172 OPS. Whether these stats were sticky enough to translate to the MLB regular season was anyone's guess.
