Yesterday, the Cardinals took care of business against the Milwaukee Brewers. Against Corbin Burnes, the offense came alive. Sort of. It counts for alive with Corbin Burnes on the mound. And because of that, the Cardinals can breathe easier. They could already breathe easy, but 6 games ahead and 8 games ahead feel pretty massive with 19 games left to play.
And interestingly, five of those games are happening over the next four games against the Reds at Busch. It’s a good opportunity for Albert Pujols to get one or two steps closer to 700 home runs. Or he can do the damn thing.
