The Cardinals Soar Ahead of the Pack
Summary
The St. Louis Cardinals made a bold statement over the weekend by sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers, demonstrating their growing dominance in the NL.
Dominance on Display
The Cardinals made their presence felt in Hollywood, achieving their first three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium since April 1993. With this victory, they've secured nine consecutive wins against the Dodgers and 15 out of the last 19 meetings, including a recent four-game sweep in St. Louis. Currently leading the NL Central, the Cardinals have won 11 of their last 13 games, widening their lead over Cincinnati by five games.
Dodgers' Downward Spiral
The Dodgers are struggling in the competitive West as San Diego and San Francisco vie for first place. With a 1-10 record and three shutout losses since the All-Star break?"two against the Cardinals?"the Dodgers have been outscored 57-17 during this period. The Cardinals, specifically, have overpowered them 35-8 in their seven encounters.
Spotlight on Alex Rodriguez
Tonight, Alex Rodriguez returns to Texas, the origin of his $250,000 contract, amidst a challenging period. He's hit just .154 in the last six games and has committed five errors. However, Rodriguez has a history of success against the Rangers, batting .313 with two homers and eight RBIs since joining the Yankees in 2004. Earlier this season, he went 5-for-13 against Texas with a home run and six RBIs.
Twins on the Rise
The Minnesota Twins have been quietly impressive, narrowing their gap with Detroit to under 10 games. As they face the White Sox in a pivotal three-game series, only three games separate them in the wild card race.
In early June, the White Sox were trailing the AL Central-leading Tigers by a mere half-game, while the Twins were struggling at 25-33, 11.5 games back. However, the Twins have turned things around, winning 31 of their last 39 games and achieving two eight-game and one season-high 11-game winning streaks. They're now just half a game behind the Yankees for the second wild card spot.
Overcoming Adversity
The Twins continue to triumph despite key injuries. Outfielders Torii Hunter, Shannon Stewart, and Lew Ford are on the disabled list, but the team perseveres. This series marks the first of 12 matchups between the Twins and the White Sox, culminating with a three-game set in Minneapolis from September 29 to October 1.
