Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 4-2 win over the Mets on Friday night at Citi Field.

Ryan Helsley and the rest of the bullpen was nails again -- and the Cardinals have still needed Hels for each and every one of their wins on the season.

Miles Mikolas gave the Cardinals a bit more than he had been providing while the offense got its start early thanks to homers by Burleson and Contreras.

Why does it feel like the Cardinals are just hanging on for dear life in so many of their wins? Hey, at least it's working as often as it is.

We explain the deal with Brandon Crawford's playing time and talk about one Cardinal pitching prospect who is absolutely lighting it up at one of the lower levels of the org.
