The St. Louis Cardinals, based in St. Louis, Mo., participate in Major League Baseball (MLB) and are a member of the National League Central Division. The Cardinals were founded in 1892.
ST. LOUIS — The Cardinals' 5-3 loss to the Dodgers on Thursday night ultimately came down to one pitch. But Matt Kemp's game-winning two-run single was set up over the previous 10 innings, the previous night and even the previous four months. With two on and two outs in the top of the 10th, Kemp [...]
ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols ended a nearly five-hour game on Wednesday night with a line drive over the head of center fielder Matt Kemp in the bottom of the 15th inning that sent the Cardinals home with their third straight win over the Dodgers, 3-2, at Busch Stadium. It was the first time in [...]
ST. LOUIS — It wasn't the most dominating eight scoreless innings you will ever see, but Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright will surely take it. The righty allowed eight hits and got in several jams on Tuesday night but got out of all of them, holding Los Angeles off the board as the Cardinals combined Wainwright's [...]
ST. LOUIS — By nearly any reasonable measure, the two best lineups in the National League belong to the Phillies and Dodgers. After four days of head-to-head comparisons, the Cardinals believe the elite group is now a threesome. The additions of three players, and the resurgence of another, have provided St. Louis with depth and [...]
PHILADELPHIA — Todd Wellemeyer was searching for answers after his latest outing. He didn't have any. In a season in which the hard-throwing right-hander has struggled mightily against left-handed batters, the frustrating trend continued on Sunday. The Cardinals fell to the Phillies, 9-2, and dropped their second in a row before a sellout crowd of [...]
PHILADELPHIA — A roster shakeup can sometimes have successful long-term results and that's what the Cardinals are obviously looking for. In terms of one game, the Cardinals won't be fazed. The addition of outfielder Matt Holliday and infielder Julio Lugo has sparked the Cardinals during a tough three-game series against the defending World Series champion [...]
PHILADELPHIA — Matt Holliday did not hit the ball particularly hard in his Cardinals debut Friday. Yet somehow, every bloop, flair and grounder off his bat was perfectly placed, as he finished 4-for-5 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored. Julio Lugo — the "other" St. Louis newcomer — homered and tripled, [...]
WASHINGTON — Nothing can stop a mustached Adam Wainwright. Not a heavy rainstorm complete with unbridled thunder and lightning, or the ensuing one-hour, 16-minute rain delay in the fourth inning, and certainly not the Nationals lineup. Well, maybe a second delay of over an hour could stop him, but that was only because it ended [...]
HOUSTON — The Cardinals had exactly the man they wanted on the mound from the first through the eighth innings. Then they had exactly the man they wanted on the mound in the ninth. They got a couple of big hits from a couple of reliable sources and had a lead for nearly the entire [...]
HOUSTON — A favorite adage of baseball players, coaches and managers is that you can never figure the game out. Sometimes, though, you can come pretty close. If the Cardinals' 11-6 loss to the Astros at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday night wasn't preordained, it was certainly foreseeable. Houston sent a left-hander, and a very [...]
