St. Louis CardinalsvsNew York Yankees
STL 0/NYY 2
Things to say
The Yankees blanked the Cardinals 2-0 at Yankee Stadium.
01
opener
Yankees took it 2-0. Real quiet game, all pitching. Cards never got anything going.
02
key player
The Yankee starter was filthy. Cards couldn't touch him, and the bullpen slammed the door on the shutout.
03
hot take
Two runs and that's a win? St. Louis offense is asleep. That lineup should be embarrassed getting shut out.
04
deep cut
Cards are under .500 now at 56-58. They're the ones who need this game, and they leave the yard with a goose egg.
05
exit
Anyway, Yankees are rolling at 64-50. Let's see if St. Louis can steal one before this series wraps.
The recap
The Yankees squeezed out a 2-0 win over the Cardinals in the Bronx, and this one was all about the arms. New York's staff tossed a shutout, keeping St.
Louis off the board across all nine while the heart of the Cardinals order never got going. Two runs was all the Yankees needed on a quiet offensive night, but when your pitching hands the other side a goose egg, that's plenty.
St. Louis drops to a game under .500 and heads home stung by a lineup that couldn't scratch across a single run.
