Matthew Boyd was named a 2025 All-Star and went out Sunday evening and showed why, shutting down the Cardinals for five innings.
Meanwhile, his teammates put together a 13-hit attack, including a home run from All-Star snub (at least for now) Seiya Suzuki, and shut out the rival Cardinals 11-0, taking the series and completing a highly successful 5-1 homestand.
The game was moved from 1:20 p.m. to an unusual 5:10 p.m starting time by ESPN. Rain had other ideas, and the start wound up being at exactly ESPN’s usual Sunday night starting time, 6:10 p.
