The Cardinals offense didn’t exactly enter this two-game mini homestand on fire, but a figure from the organization’s past helped douse and smother whatever spark the Cardinals might’ve had going.
By the time the Cardinals offense got something smoldering, it was too little too late as they fell 7-0 to the Kansas City Royals in the first installment of this year’s I-70 series, a Memorial Day matinee in front of an announced sellout crowd of 45,911 at Busch Stadium on Monday afternoon.
Former Cardinals pitcher Mike Mayers tossed six perfect innings to squash the Cardinals' offense, which finished the day with two hits.
