June 29: Cardinals (48-31) @ Athletics (47-34)

The Cardinals arrived at the ballpark this morning no longer owning the Majors best record or even the division lead. Both distinctions now go to the Pirates, who have won seven straight while the Cardinals have recently faded. St. Louis’ troubles have come during a stretch of games against American League clubs. Since going 3-1 against the Royals in May, the Cardinals are 1-5 against the AL West. Another five games remain before the Cardinals return to National League competition.
In need of a buoy in this tumultuous trip through the American League, the Cardinals turn to their surest hand.
