🔴 LIVE Cardinals Vs. Diamondbacks DUTCHMAN ON THE BUMP! - Play By Play & Reaction | Game 99 Of 162 Local Elections 2026 Results Time [mH9olkpmxPa]

This afternoon the St. Louis Cardinals (51-45) wrangle with the Arizona Diamondbacks (49-48), in the second game of this three game series at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona. Last night in the first game of the second half in the 2026 season, the Cards pulled out a 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks following an outstanding 6.1 IP start by RHP Michael McGreevy.

Taking the ball today for the Redbirds is RHP Dustin May (5-6, 4.55 ERA), who since the end of May - all pun intended - has really turned his 2026 season into high gear. Since May 27th against the Brewers, May has tossed the ball to the tune of a 3.92 nba bracket 2026 ERA over 39.0 IP. May during part of that period battled lower back soreness, causing him to miss a start. Furthermore, May took a line drive off bmw his ankle during a start against Atlanta. May in the big picture however has demonstrated clear dominance over multiple stretches. With all of the trade rumors swirling around May in view of the upcoming trade deadline on August 3rd, his performance has clear larger implications for the organization more broadly.

On the hill this afternoon for the Diamondbacks is the 27 year old RHP Brandon Pfaadt (3-1, 4.70 ERA). Pfaadt in his last three starts is 3-0, with an ERA of 1.72 over 15.2 IP. Yet in 8 appearances that include 3 starts pitching at Chase Field in 2026, Pfaadt has amassed a 5.28 ERA over 29.0 IP. So while Pfaadt is coming off a streak of three very good starts, his overall performance at home this year is reasonably suspect. In facing a Redbirds offense that hits notably well on the road, Pfaadt has his work cut out for him.

Which Dustin May will the Cardinals get today? Will it be the version that has shown clear front of the rotation stuff? Can Brandon Pfaadt continue his stretch that kept some of the best offenses in baseball in check? Will the Redbirds show off their road bats this afternoon in Phoenix? Hang with Paul D. who has the call, with giro d'italia scheduled first pitch set for 3:10 PM CST at Chase Field. Come by and enjoy it all here on Bombers Game Mic!
