St. Louis’ offensive struggles came to a head on Thursday night, getting shut out 5-0 by the Marlins. This is the fourth game that the Cardinals have scored two or fewer runs in the last week, in what is becoming a concerning trend. Dylan Carlson, Paul Goldschmidt, and Paul DeJong combined to go 1-for-11. Nolan Arenado continued to show he is the lifeblood of the Cardinals offense, at the moment anyhow, picking up three of the team’s five hits and hitting four of the team’s nine hardest-hit balls. Yadier Molina did show some encouraging signs. Yadi went 1-for-3 at the dish, and he did impact the ball well, with batted balls of 100 MPH and 96 MPH.
