After posting a winning record in May, the Cardinals seemed to have successfully pulled themselves out of the MLB doldrums and now look more like the competitive club they were forecast to be heading into spring training.
They’ve still got strides to make in terms of performance as well as the National League Central Division standings, but the Cardinals turned around a ship that had veered wildly off course and into rocky, choppy waters.
The Cardinals sailed into their two-day break with a 2-1 win over their I-70 rivals the Kansas City Royals and their veteran right-hander with a Hall of Fame resume Zack Greinke at Busch Stadium.
