After an incredible stretch many thought unlikely, perhaps even impossible, the St. Louis Cardinals have won 12 games in a row and swept the National League Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers.
The Cardinals are now securely in the second Wild Card position, 4.5 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies, 5.5 games ahead of the Cincinnati Reds, and six games ahead of the San Diego Padres.
On Monday the Cardinals won 5-2, on Tuesday the Cardinals won 2-1, the Cardinals won 10-2 on Wednesday and they won a thriller on Thursday 8-5.
What an incredible ride we are seeing by a team that was struggling so mightily just weeks ago.
