TIGER'S NOTES

MAEDA LEAVES GAME WITH ELBOW DISCOMFORT
Pitcher Kenta Maeda left Thursday's start after four innings with elbow discomfort. He is scheduled to be examined on Friday. It is feared that he may have suffered some ligament damage, and might require UCL reconstruction surgery (Tommy John surgery) or UCL Brace surgery. Maeda previously underwent UCL Reconstruction surgery in August of 2021.

Cardinals take series from Yankees in the Bronx

The Cardinals (74-63) took the final two games of their three game series with the Yankees in the Bronx over the weekend. The Cardinals are now 2 games up on the Brewers as the we enter the final month of the season.

The Cardinals lost the first game of the series as Jack Flaherty got no help from the bullpen. Flaherty left after 5 innings with a 4-3 lead. By the time the bullpen recorded an out in the 6th, the Cardinals trailed 7-4. The game would conclude with that final score.

Sonny Gray got the ball on Saturday and was brilliant. Gray toss 8 innings giving up no runs on 4 hits and fanning 11. The Cardinals led 5-0, but Gray was at 112 pitches and Marmol decided to turn to the bullpen who struggled the night before to close it out. They did without issue as Zach Thompson pitched a 3 up 3 down 9th inning.

Dakota Hudson got the ball Sunday as he was recalled from Cooper Hjerpe who was put on the IL due to a shoulder issue. Hudson, whom the Cardinals claimed off waivers from the Rockies earlier this year, had been in Memphis since rejoining the Cardinals back in June. Hudson went 6 innings giving up 3 runs on 5 hits, but would get the win thanks to the offense exploding for 11 runs including two grand slams, one by Contreras and one by Dylan Carlson.

The Cardinals will now head to Milwaukee for a pivotal 3 game series with the Brewers as the teams meet for the final time in 2024.

Cardinals recall Jordan Walker and Alex Reyes for September Expansion

The Cardinals have recalled RHP Alex Reyes and 3B/OF Jordan Walker from Memphis. Reyes was demoted earlier this year due to ineffectiveness, but has pitched well down in Memphis. Jordan Walker was sent down to get regular at-bats. Both will be counted on as the Cardinals continue to battle for a spot in the playoffs.

Cardinals take series from Brewers to extend divisional lead

The Cardinals (76-64) took 2 games of the 3 game series with the Brewers and now lead the Brewers and Reds by 3 games. The Cubs are 4 games out. The Brewers, Cubs, and Reds are all tied for the 3rd wildcard spot.

The Brewers absolutely destroyed the Cardinals on Monday as they beat up on Miles Mikolas and the bullpen in route to a 15-4 victory. But the Cardinals would bounce back Tuesday with a dramatic win in the 9th. Down 1-0, Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, and Willson Contreras went back to back to back with 2 outs to give the Cards a 3-1 lead and eventual victory. Wednesday saw Jack Flaherty strike out 13 in route to a complete game shutout as the Cards won 5-0.

The Cardinals are off on Thursday as they head home to welcome the Mariners to town for a 3 game weekend series.

Having an absolute blast in my Cubs ‘chise! 5 straight games all decided in the final inning including the last 4 all being walk-offs. I haven’t won them all, but it’s been an unbelievable stretch of intense baseball! The Pirates have been in first place in the Central for most of the year and we are now 5-0 against them.

Anyone have a breakdown of training in Franchise this year. I see that there's really no point in training. I know they get a boost every month. Trying to see if there in game play helps or something other than just put it on whatever.

A's strong start to July continues as they get closer to .500

The Oakland Athletics are now 5-1 to start July and are just four games behind a .500 record. Although that wont get them a playoff appearance, that has been a goal of the GM's throughout the season and especially after the team went 10+ games below that mark.

Oakland's most recent series saw them win two of three against the Baltimore Orioles as they closed out their homestand, 5-1.

Lawrence Butler continues to impress after he took over the main RF spot when Brent Rooker was traded. After resting the first game, Butler went 4-7 in the series with two homeruns. His homer in game two brought his season total to 10 and was the eventual winning runs as the Athletics won that game 3-1.

Oakland wasnt far off from a sweep as the Orioles needed extra innings to take game one.

Oakland will now go on the road for their last two series' before the All-Star Break. First up is a trip to Boston where they will face off with the struggling Red Sox (28-62/5th AL East/26.0 behind Tampa Rays).
