St. Louis CardinalsvsNew York Yankees
STL 13/NYY 7
Things to say
The St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Yankees 13-7 at Yankee Stadium.
01
opener
Yeah, the Cards just put up a crooked number in the Bronx. Thirteen to seven, and it wasn't even that close. St. Louis swinging it at Yankee Stadium is not what anybody had penciled in.
02
hot take
Thirteen runs in that ballpark? The Yankees pitching is the story. When your staff coughs up that many, it's not the offense's fault.
03
deep cut
Cardinals are a sub-.500 team at 56-57 and they just hung a touchdown-plus on a first-place club. That's the kind of getaway-day game that gets a manager grumbling.
04
exit
Anyway, Yankees still sitting pretty at 63-50 — one bad night doesn't sink the season. Curious who they run out there next.
The recap
The Cardinals walked into the Bronx and absolutely bludgeoned the Yankees 13-7, and it was every bit as lopsided as the score. St.
Louis got to the pitching early and never let up, stacking crooked numbers while the heart of their order kept leaving the yard. New York's bullpen was no help either, coughing up runs long after the game had already slipped away.
On a getaway day like this, the Cards just flat outslugged them and cruised home.
