Miklasz: Cards' OF not living up to expectations
Bernie Miklasz of 101 ESPN talks about the lack of plate production from Cardinals outfielders and their surprising decline on defense.
ESPN Stats and Information
Mike Leake not only has an NL-best 1.91 ERA, he's also the first Cardinals pitcher to begin a season with nine quality starts in his first nine games since Bob Gibson in 1968, who had 22 straight quality starts. (Jeff Roberson/AP Photo)
Leake leads Cardinals to 6-1 win over Dodgers
Mike Leake allowed four hits over eight innings and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 on Wednesday night.
David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer
Mike Leake continues to show why his ERA is sitting under 2.00 with five scoreless innings so far. He has eight groundball outs and no fly ball outs, to go with five strikeouts. For the season, he's seventh in groundball rate among starters, he's walked just 10 guys and he's limited home runs. The veteran certainly has a chance at his first All-Star trip.
ESPN Stats and Information
Including last night opposite Clayton Kershaw, Lance Lynn has been involved in each of the last three games in which both starting pitchers threw at least eight innings and allowed no more than three hits, per the Elias Sports Bureau. One came against Jordan Zimmermann on June 13, 2014; the other was a duel with Johnny Cueto on Sept. 11, 2014. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar)
Forsythe, Dodgers win it in 13th after Kershaw duels Lynn
Logan Forsythe doubled in a run in the 13th inning to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers over the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Tuesday night after a stellar duel between starters Clayton Kershaw and Lance Lynn.
David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer
You can't fault Dave Roberts for leaving in Clayton Kershaw to close out a dominant 1-0 shutout, even if he did have Kenley Jansen in the bullpen. He was cruising with a two-hitter, but then made one mistake, a wild pitch that allowed a hustling Randal Grichuk to score all the way from second base to tie the game.
Why Kershaw is so tough to hit (0:59)
ESPN Staff
The Cardinals activated P Tyler Lyons (right intercostal strain) from the 10-day DL on Tuesday and optioned P Sam Tuivailala to Triple-A Memphis following Sunday's game in a corresponding roster move.
ESPN Stats and Information
Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is back to his dominant ways, and Cody Bellinger has proved he's as good as advertised. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have been happy to have Lance Lynn back, and Matt Carpenter's patience at the plate has been a plus.
Miklasz: Cards couldn't ask for more from starters
Bernie Miklasz wonders how the Cardinals' pitching staff, particularly the bullpen, will navigate a tough stretch coming up against the Dodgers, Rockies and Cubs.
Could stopping a Cubs dynasty be in the Cards?

Revisiting preseason questions: Cardinals
In mid-February, we wondered if Dexter Fowler could bring stability to the lineup and defensively. So far, he has given St. Louis some pop out of the leadoff spot, but the advanced metrics haven't been kind to his defense.
