🔴 LIVE Cardinals vs. Reds DOUBLEHEADER GAME 2 - Play by Play & Reaction | Game 52 of 162 [eGqbdS8yQnF]
This is game 2 of the Saturday split doubleheader where the St. Louis Cardinals (29-21) once again take on the Cincinnati Reds (26-25), scheduled for a 6:15 PM CST first pitch. In game one earlier today, the Redbirds offense jumped all over Reds pitching, combined with a solid start from RHP Andre Pallante (5-4, 3.76 ERA) - leading the Redbirds to a huge 8-1 victory over Cincinnati. On the hill for the Cardinals in game 2 this evening is RHP Kyle Leahy (5-3, 3.94 ERA), who in his three starts in May has given up 2 earned runs 16.1 IP - and is looking to continue his strong pitching tonight against the Reds. On the mound for the Reds in game 2 is RHP Chase Petty (0-0, 4.76 ERA), who is making his fourth MLB start for Cincinnati at 23 years old. In Petty's one start in 2026, he threw 5.2 IP allowing 4 hits and 3 earned runs. Petty is known for electric stuff, largely working off a plus heater and a slider that generates swings and misses. Petty's location can be spotty, and a disciplined Cardinals lineup will definitely have to work the count to get to him. Will the Redbirds hang in there against Petty, and find a way to secure the doubleheader sweep? Will Kyle Leahy continue tossing the ball as well as he has during all of May? Paul D. has the call for game 2 of this doubleheader at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, Ohio. Join in on the fun here on Saturday night St. Louis Cardinals baseball!
