Cardinals 8, Brewers 0

The Redbirds, who have been as far as 10.5 games out of first place, now trail the Brewers by 2.5 and the Cubs by two. On July 27, they were nine back, but since then they’ve beaten Milwaukee six straight times. St. Louis’ five-game winning streak overall is its longest of the year. The Redbirds are 7-1 in their last eight games and 8-2 in their last 10, each a season-best stretch.

Sweet. I might actually start watching baseball again.
