St. Louis used a steady outing from Miles Mikolas and a clutch homer from Ivan Herrera to edge Oakland in a close contest. The A’s lineup showed fight but couldn’t capitalize in key scoring chances.

The Athletics will now look to reset. Jeffrey Springs is scheduled to pitch, aiming to control the strike zone and prevent long innings. For the A’s to contend, they’ll need their bats to wake up early and apply pressure before the St. Louis bullpen enters the game.

Cardinals Preview

The Cardinals carry confidence after their late-game execution. Their pitching depth and situational hitting allow them to win tight games. If they keep runners moving and avoid defensive lapses, St. Louis is well positioned to build momentum in this series.

This matchup comes down to consistency. The A’s must prove they can produce timely offense, while St. Louis will rely on reliable arms and veteran bats to grind through innings. Expect the A’s to try their best to bounce back, while the Cardinals will try and build off of their recent win.
