Bats and Bullpen SHINE in Victory Against Cubs | Cards Central Postgame

The Cardinals faced off against the Cubs for the first time in 2026 on Friday night and came away with a big 6-5 victory over the North Siders. The Cubs put up 3 runs on an Ian Happ (big surprise) home run in the first inning, but newly called up Nelson Velasquez made things all square by hitting his own 3-run homer in the bottom of the first, on the very first pitch he saw. The Cardinals would add homers from Ivan Herrera and Thomas Saggase, and the bullpen did some heavy lifting as 6 relivers combined for 6 innings, 3 hits, and 1 earned run to give the Cards their 30th win of the season Joe Roderick and Ethan Hannaford break it down with you on the Cards Central 365 Postgame Show, Powered by Graybar Learn more about your ad choices.

Cardinals WASTE Dustin May’s Gem, Swept by Brewers After 2-1 Loss | Cards Central 365 Postgame

Count that for a one-run game that didn’t go the Cardinals way… Dustin May took a no-hitter into the 8th but three poor defensive plays from Torres, Gorman & Winn got him take out & then ruined a solid appearance by JoJo Romero as the Cardinals left a 1-0 lead to get stolen by the Brewers late. May’s run support has been terrible, but he’s pumping up that trade value! Is it time for the Cardinals to shake up a roster that’s starting to feel stagnant—and is starting to make uncharacteristic mistakes? Join the show in the chat with your comments & questions!
