Tough Loss for the Redbirds
Hey Cardinals fans!
Despite a valiant effort, the St. Louis Cardinals fell to the Philadelphia Phillies in a tough matchup, finishing with a 4-1 loss. Our guys showed heart, but those Philly bats were hot!Early Deficit
It was a rough start for our Cards, with the Phillies getting on the board first. Nick Castellanos drove in two early runs with a double in the first inning, putting the pressure on us from the get-go. But credit to our pitchers for keeping it together after that!Breaking the Ice
We finally got a spark in the 6th inning, thanks to a double by Luken Baker. Willson Contreras followed up with a single to bring Baker home and put us on the board. It was a great moment
showcasing Contreras's ability to come through in a clutch situation.Fighting Until the End
Our pitching did a solid job of holding the Phillies back after their early runs. Steven Matz and our bullpen showed resilience, especially in some tight spots — that 8th inning was a nail-biter! We kept battling until the last out, but unfortunately, the Phillies defense held strong and closed the door on our chances.Looking Ahead
It's always tough to see us not clinch the W, but it's just one game and there's plenty more baseball to be played! Let's keep that Cardinal spirit high and keep rooting for our boys.
We know they’ll bounce back strong for the next matchup. Go Cards!Scoreboard for Phillies @ Cardinals (April 12th, 2025)
