The St. Louis Cardinals nailed down a win against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 6, buoyed by solid games from Jordan Walker and Lars Nootbaar. The team clawed back from a 3-1 deficit to win 5-3 and earn a series victory on the road against a very strong team. The Cardinals deserved some respect for the gritty showing, but MLB Network had different ideas.
MLB Network drooled over Shohei Ohtani's outing in a Dodgers loss.
The Dodgers have been ramping up Ohtani carefully on the mound after he underwent his second elbow surgery, and the ace pitched well in a limited showing against the Cardinals, going four innings and allowing two hits, one run and no walks and striking out eight batters.
