Cardinals' Jordan Walker: Blasts Homer in Loss
May 11, 2026 — Walker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 loss to San Diego.
Walker was the lone source of offense for St. Louis, crushing a towering 425-foot two-run homer off the top deck of the Western Metal Supply Co. building against Walker Buehler in the fourth inning.
After struggling mightily over the past two seasons, the 23-year-old outfielder has been firing on all cylinders to begin 2026. Through 39 games, he's slashing .299/.377/.578 with 11 homers, eight doubles, 29 RBI, 31 runs and seven stolen bases.
Cardinals' Riley O'Brien: Blows Third Save
May 11, 2026 — O'Brien blew the save in Sunday's 3-2 loss to San Diego. He allowed two runs on two hits and no walks while striking out three over one inning.
O'Brien had his club one strike away from securing a series win in San Diego before Nick Castellanos launched a game-tying two-run homer on the ninth pitch of the at-bat in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Sunday marked the hard-throwing right-hander's third blown save of the campaign, snapping a streak of four consecutive saves. Despite the stumble, O'Brien has been effective in the closer role in 2026, posting a 2.84 ERA and 0.95 WHIP with 11 saves and a stellar 23:1 K:BB across 19 innings.
Cardinals' Kyle Leahy: Tosses Five Scoreless Frames
May 11, 2026 — Leahy did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two hits and four walks over five scoreless innings against the Padres. He struck out five.
Leahy's control wasn't stellar, as he issued a season-high four walks, but the Padres struggled to string together hits while the right-hander turned in his first scoreless outing of the season.
After factoring into the decision in each of his first seven starts (4-3), Sunday marked the 28-year-old's first no-decision of the campaign. He'll carry a 4.31 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 32:17 K:BB across 39.2 innings into his next start, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Royals.
