The Cardinals played a team that has lost 60 games out of 90 before they rolled into Chicago. When you get to a level of baseball that is as talented as the MLB though, it’s not really a guarantee you beat these teams. You hope for or even expect blowouts, but it could be as simple as your starter is having an off night and the bad team’s starter has got it figured it out and there’s a loss. That did not happen tonight.
It looked like it might happen at first. I’m sure Dylan Covey is a talented pitcher.
