Texas RangersvsSt. Louis Cardinals
TEX 7/STL 4
Things to say
Texas beat St. Louis 7-4 at Busch Stadium.
01
Rangers took it 7-4 in St. Louis. Bats were alive early and the Cardinals never really climbed back in. Felt over by the seventh.
02
key player
Texas lineup did the damage top to bottom. Heart of the order kept turning it over and the Cards' starter just couldn't put guys away.
03
hot take
St. Louis manager went to the pen way too early. Once that bullpen door opened, the game was cooked.
04
deep cut
Cardinals are now under .500 at 31-28? At Busch, in June? That's not the vibe you want heading into a getaway day.
05
exit
Rangers claw back to 30-31 — if they keep stacking these on the road, that division's gonna get interesting fast.
The recap
Rangers went into Busch and walked out with a 7-4 win, snapping the Cardinals' little run of home cooking. Texas got the bats going against St.
Louis pitching early and the heart of the order made it stick, while the bullpen held serve down the stretch. The Cards never really got into their stuff — felt like the manager went to the pen too early and Texas made him pay.
Getaway-day vibes at Busch, and the Rangers needed it to climb back toward .500.
