Cardinals Battle Pirates Amid Injuries | St. Louis Cardinals News

The Cardinals clawed back from a losing streak with a win over the Orioles, but now face a tough divisional test against the surging Pirates — who’ve been heating up lately and sit just two games behind. With key injuries plaguing St. Louis — including a potential season-ending ankle setback — the Cards are fighting to stay alive in the wild card race. Friday’s matchup pits Jared Jones vs. Quinn Mathews, Saturday’s starter is uncertain for Pittsburgh but Kyle Leahy takes the mound for St. Louis, and Sunday sees Braxton Ashcraft go head-to-head with Matthew Liberatore. Despite the odds, the Cards’ history of resilience offers hope as they aim to turn things around in this pivotal series.
