If the Cardinals are able to make up any ground after their recent plummet, they will have no better time than the present and immediate future. Counting Monday night’s game with the Miami Marlins, the Cardinals’ next 20 games were scheduled against teams with losing records. . . oops. . . other teams with losing records.
Besides three here with Miami, the Cardinals (32-33) will go to Atlanta for four with the equally disappointing Braves and then to Detroit for two with the Tigers. Their final home stand before the All-Star break has four games with last-place Pittsburgh and three with last-place Arizona.
