The Cardinals lost to the Pirates 8-1 tonight. John Gant — presumably in his last turn in the rotation, given the imminent return of Alex Reyes — pitched pretty well, but not as well as former Astro Joe (Joe? I’m 95% sure it’s Joe) Musgrove. Musgrove came over to Pittsburgh in the Gerrit Cole trade, and has mostly been hurt since. Tonight he was either very good, or the Cardinals hitters were very bad, and which of those is the case is mostly a matter of indifference to me.
