When I last posted, it was May 23rd. The Cards, at 26-19, were in first place in the National League Central and had the 4th best record in the National League, behind only the Padres, Giants and Dodgers. Only RHPs Jordan Hicks and Dakota Hudson were on the 60-day IL. LHP Andrew Miller, SS Paul DeJong and LF Tyler O’Neill were on the 10-day IL. The club had just started a stretch of 17 straight games without a day off, and had a planned 6-man starting rotation of Jack Flaherty, Carlos Martinez, Miles Mikolas, Adam Wainwright, Kwang Hyun Kim and John Gant.
