The Cardinals are making this interesting.
After a frustrating loss to the Cubs, St. Louis responded by taking the series from Chicago, highlighted by Joshua Báez making MLB history with three home runs in his first three career at-bats.
Then the Cardinals headed to Cincinnati, split a doubleheader with the Reds, and followed it up with a shutout victory.
Meanwhile, Masyn Winn is heating up, Alec Burleson and Jordan Walker are producing, the bullpen continues to deliver, and the Cardinals are still hanging around the National League Wild Card race.
So… are the Cardinals actually good enough to make a playoff run?
Moose breaks down the last week of Cardinals baseball, the emergence of the young players, the pitching, the playoff picture, and what this stretch could mean for the future of the franchise.
And, of course, we have another edition of This Day In The Cubs Suck.
