On Friday, May 30, the Cardinals (32-24) are in Arlington to take on the Rangers (27-30).
Matthew Liberatore is slated to take the mound for St. Louis against Jack Leiter for Texas.
With a 2-0 loss on Wednesday against the Blue Jays, the Rangers have now lost three straight series (Yankees, White Sox, Blue Jays). Tyler Mahle was phenomenal for the Blue Jays. He didn’t give up a run in 6.0 innings and struck out five batters. It was the second time in a week that the Rangers were shut out.
The Cardinals wrapped up a series win over the Orioles with back-to-back wins. Masyn Winn went 4-5 including a pair of doubles to pace the attack in Wednesday’s 6-4 win in Baltimore.
