Wetherholt Shines as Cardinals Dominate | St. Louis News

JJ Wetherholt crushed a leadoff homer and a double to ignite the Cardinals’ 3-0 rout of the Cubs, marking their third straight win and cutting the gap to just half a game. Kyle Leahy pitched five solid innings, and the bullpen locked it down with JoJo Romero and Riley O’Brien sealing the deal — O’Brien notching his 22nd save. Despite foggy, delay-filled conditions at Wrigley and a shaky start from Cubs’ Shota Imanaga, the Cardinals capitalized with RBIs from Ivan Herrera and Alec Burleson. Wetherholt’s 13th homer this season set a rookie record. With five of their last six wins, the Cardinals aim to keep rolling into the series finale.
