The Mets haven’t won back-to-back games since June 1.
What figured to be a midseason matchup between two of the top teams in the National League has turned into something else.
No, the Cardinals didn’t spend a ton of money last offseason, but they did sign an expensive replacement for retired catcher Yadier Molina and entered the season with plenty of observers picking them to win the NL Central. St. Louis is eight games behind surprising first-place Pittsburgh and in even worse shape in the NL wild-card standings, 9 ½ games out of the last playoff spot.The Cardinals have lost five straight and 10 of 12 to fall to 27-42. This from an organization that’s made the playoffs the previous four seasons and nine of the last 12, starting in 2011, when it won the World Series.
“We’re not getting outs when we need to [and] putting guys away,’’ Arenado said, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “We’re not playing defense. We don’t execute. That’s why we’re playing the way we’re playing.”
