We all sound like broken records by now. We’re probably beating a dead horse. But one thing is for sure. The Cardinals starting rotation is absolutely terrible right now, and that’s putting it nicely. Steven Matz really wasn’t bad on Friday. He kind of had some bad luck, especially with a missed call which would have given him a strikeout and gotten him a little bit deeper into the game. His line was ultimately soured when Drew VerHagen had a slip up, allowing a go-ahead double to A.J. Pollock.
The Cardinals lost 5-2 and continued their ugly trend of losing series openers.
