In tonight's 2-hour show of Sports Open Line with Matt Pauley, he discusses the Cardinals beginning to gain some national attention, as well as what to do with guys that are struggling such as Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman. KMOX Sports Contributor Bernie Miklasz joins the show for his weekly interview. Then, we shift the conversation over to City SC, as they blow a lead in their second straight game vs Minnesota United, this time eliminating them from the US Open Cup. Max Bretos of MLS Season Pass joins us to break it down, as well as evaluate Olof Mellberg's future with the team.

In the second hour of the show, Matt Pauley previews the Cardinals’ series against the Diamondbacks. Also, Matt discusses the balance between giving runway to young players vs putting the best team on the field. We then wrap up the show by talking with Brian Flaspohler, as we celebrate the 150 year anniversary of Major League Baseball in St. Louis.
