St. Louis Cardinals

May 23 (UPI) -- Albert Pujols hit two home runs in an 18-4 St. Louis Cardinals blowout of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The duo of dingers brings the future Hall of Famer to within 13 homers of Alex Rodriguez for fourth in MLB history. Pujols went deep in the fifth and...

Albert Pujols hit two home runs, then caught the warmup tosses when star catcher Yadier Molina made his first pitching appearance to close out the St. Louis Cardinals' 18-4 romp over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

Why the St. Louis Cardinals promoted left-hander Matthew Liberatore and what it means for the team moving forward. After Steven Matz walked off the mound at PNC Park with trainers on Sunday, two thoughts immediately popped into my head: 1) how significant is the left shoulder injury? and 2) how will the Cardinals replace him if he’s indeed placed on the Injured List?

LINE: Cardinals -117, Blue Jays -102; over/under is 8 runs. BOTTOM LINE: The St. Louis Cardinals host the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday to begin a two-game series. St. Louis has a 10-8 record at home and a 23-18 record overall. The Cardinals have the second-best team batting average in MLB play at .256.

The St. Louis Cardinals appear determined to get as many franchise icons as possible to pitch this season, especially if they’re not actually pitchers. Catcher Yadier Molina made an appearance on the mound during Sunday’s win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. With the Cardinals up 18-0 in the ninth, the team opted to save its actual pitchers and let Molina collect the final three outs. Since he couldn’t catch himself during warmups, Albert Pujols got behind the plate to get Molina ready instead.

Last Sunday, the Cardinals used a blowout win as an opportunity to let Albert Pujols have some fun and pitch. On Sunday, the Cardinals had another lopsided lead. And another veteran who wanted to take the mound. This time around, an 18-0 lead paved the way for Yadier Molina's turn in an 18-4 victory.

With Steven Matz injured, the St. Louis Cardinals rotation is in a precarious position as it waits to see how long the left-hander is out. We don’t know how long Steven Matz will be out. All we know is that he was removed after throwing only four pitches on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates with a shoulder injury that will require an MRI and has the St. Louis Cardinals organization holding its collective breath that it’s not serious.

After over 2,100 games in the big leagues, future Hall of Fame catcher Yadier Molina pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals for the first time, pitching the ninth inning in a 18-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon.

St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Steven Matz is scheduled to undergo an MRI after leaving Sunday’s start because of shoulder soreness.

Two teams with playoff aspirations begin a three-game series in St. Louis on Monday. The Toronto Blue Jays are a bit off the lofty goals they set for themselves, seven games behind the Yankees atop the AL East, but are firmly in the Wild Card mix as they start a series against the 23-18 Cardinals. The Cards are three games behind the Brewers in the NL Central race, but will look to make up some ground with their best pitcher Miles Mikolas on the mound.

PITTSBURGH — A week after his good friend Albert Pujols made his first career pitching appearance, Yadier Molina got a chance to take the mound as well. It's safe to say the two future hall of famers should stick to their current positions. Molina came into the game to...

The final season of Hall of Famer Albert Pujols's career has been a fun one so far with the St. Louis Cardinals, and on Sunday afternoon, he hit two home runs against the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 18-4 win.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- University of Louisville head baseball coach Dan McDonnell understands why his team was unranked in the preseason, but there’s no doubt he and the Cardinals are enjoying changing the narrative as they head to the postseason. “Little disappointed the program didn’t get more respect in...
