Fowler's homer caps comeback, Cardinals beat Rockies 6-5 (08/22 11:36 pm)ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Yadier Molina knew Dexter Fowler would come up big, even before Fowler did.

Brewers knock Cardinals out of 1st place with 5-3 win (08/22 12:00 am)ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Mike Moustakas stopped short of calling Milwaukee's rain-shortened victory over the St. Louis Cardinals a must win. "But it was pretty important," he said.

Hudson, Cards take no-hit bid into 8th and blank Brewers 3-0 (08/19 11:16 pm)ST.

Goldschmidt homers, Cardinals edge Reds 5-4 to stay in 1st (08/18 4:31 pm)CINCINNATI (AP) -- An inconsistent St. Louis Cardinals lineup cranked out just enough offense Sunday to stay in first place.

Gray, Reds stop Cardinals' win streak with 2-1 victory (08/15 10:33 pm)CINCINNATI (AP) -- Sonny Gray was terrific for Cincinnati once again. Especially at a key moment in the third inning.

Flaherty goes 7 innings as Cardinals edge Royals 2-0 (08/13 10:54 pm)KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The two words that Cardinals manager Mike Shildt kept using to describe the reasons behind Jack Flaherty's phenomenal pitching success since the All-Star break were conviction and command.

Cardinals activate Molina, put Martinez on injured list (08/13 6:01 pm)KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Yadier Molina thinks he may have rushed himself back to the field when he hurt his thumb in May, and that's why the Cardinals' star catcher landed back on the injured list last early last month.
