The Cardinals' Improved Hitting Approach Should Lead To Better Results

The Cardinals’ offense is inconsistent. It can be frustrating to watch. Absolutely. Remember the most recent series at Wrigley Field? The Cards scored 18 runs in a Friday rout of the Cubs. Next game: two runs, and a loss. Then cranking up again for six runs, and another victory over the Cubs … followed by two runs, and another defeat.

Series Preview: Marlins @ Cardinals June 5-7, 2018

After trading away standouts Giancarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna, Christian Yelich and Dee Gordon in the offseason, the Marlins are off to as poor a start as you would expect. They have the worst record in the National League (20-39) and the worst run differential in baseball (-119).

Marlins Could Move Kyle Barraclough Into Closing Role

Mattingly said if Ziegler doesn't close, that means Kyle Barraclough likely will take over, with Drew Steckenrider being another option. Steckenrider and Barraclough each threw scoreless innings on Wednesday. Tayron Guerrero is a hard-thrower who potentially could be a closer option, but that seems down the road since he's struggled of late.
