🔴 LIVE Braves vs. Cardinals LAST SERIES BEFORE BREAK! - Play by Play & Reaction | Game 95 of 162 [OgD0NAazn0v]
This evening in the last series before the All-Star break, the St. Louis Cardinals (48-44) face the Atlanta Braves (54-38). After dropping four games of the five game series against Milwaukee, the Cards are looking to finish the first half strong against the Braves in St. Louis. On the hill for the Redbirds tonight is RHP Kyle Leahy (7-4, 3.86 ERA), who is coming off his two best starts of the year against the Marlins and Cubs, respectively. In his most recent start, Leahy went 5.0 IP, allowing 3 hits, no earned runs, 2 walks and 6 strike outs. The turn around in recent outings by Leahy has been striking, and it remains to be seen if he has indeed turned the corner for the longer term - we shall find out further tonight. On the bump for the Atlanta Braves this evening is the living legend Chris Sale (9-6, 2.27 ERA), who in his age 37 season is having an outstanding 2026. Over 95.0 IP this year, he Sale has racked up 112 strikeouts and allowed 82 hits and 24 walks. Chris Sale is as great a challenge tonight as he has been at any time in his long career. Can Kyle Leahy maintain the positive momentum he has achieved with his performances over his last two start? How will Chris Sale fare against the Cardinals hitters? Join Paul D. who has the call, with scheduled first pitch at Busch Stadium at 7:15 PM CST.
