Cardinal Report: Nationals escape on St. Louis error (3/6/21)

St. Louis trailed Washington 6-5 entering the bottom of the ninth inning on Friday, but the Cardinals were able to tie the score off of a sacrifice fly by catcher Tyler Heineman that scored Max Moroff.
Cardinal Report: Martinez implodes in first spring start (3/5/21)

St. Louis Cardinal starting pitcher Carlos Martinez might have a leg up on the competition for the fifth starting spot solely because of experience, but if his first spring training outing on Thursday against Houston was any indication, the competition may remain wide open...
Cardinal Report: St. Louis grabs first spring W (3/4/21)

St. Louis has had strong pitching overall for its first two spring training games. No. 1 starter Jack Flaherty, for all accounts, was not himself in his first outing, but didn’t pitch terribly.
Cardinal Report: St. Louis fit to be tied (again) (3/3/21)

Cardinal Report: St. Louis, Washington play to tie in debut (3/1/21)

St. Louis played its first spring training game Sunday against the Washington Nationals at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Fla. with the game ending in a 4-4 tie in nine innings.
Cardinal Report: 5 things to watch for as the games begin (2/28/21)

It has only been five days since the St. Louis pitchers and catchers reported to camp to start getting into “pitching shape.” This will entail getting arms loose, developing a feel for the mound again, and taking PFP (pitcher’s fielding practice). Several position players reported to camp earlier than required, such as newly acquired third baseman Nolan Arenado, veteran catcher Yadier Molina, and veteran shortstop Paul DeJong, to name a few, the big question pertaining to that fifth starter remains.
