The Cardinals roller coaster 2021 season continues. After getting swept by the Cubs last weekend in Chicago, the Cardinals came home to sweep the Marlins earlier this week. Now on a weekend road trip, The Cards have lost the first two of four games in Atlanta to the Braves. Friday night’s score was a lopsided 9-1 verdict for the Braves.
Carlos Martinez after pitching so well in a losing effort his last time out against the Cubs this past Sunday, gave up eight runs in only three innings to the Braves.
