The Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals are set to clash again this Saturday at Busch Stadium in a marquee weekend series that’s heating up fast. The Dodgers are looking to shake off a sudden slump, while the Cardinals aim to keep their scorching momentum rolling as May approaches.
Friday night’s opener saw St. Louis dominate with a 7-2 victory, extending their winning streak to five games and improving to 11-5 since April 14. Jordan Walker was the star, racking up four hits and two RBIs, while Nolan Gorman and Alec Burleson each went deep. The Cardinals’ lineup has been on fire, combining timely power with relentless baserunning—they piled up 12 hits Friday, just one day after collecting 14 in Pittsburgh. Left-hander Matthew Liberatore delivered 5 2/3 solid innings, and the bullpen shut the door cleanly.
For Los Angeles, the story is different. The Dodgers have dropped three straight and are just 5-8 in their last 13 games, with an unusual power drought raising eyebrows. All eyes will be on prized rookie Roki Sasaki (1-2, 6.35 ERA), who earned his first MLB win last weekend but still allowed four runs. Manager Dave Roberts praised Sasaki’s improved stuff despite the line, and Saturday offers a crucial chance for the young right-hander to solidify his spot in a crowded rotation as Blake Snell nears his season debut. With stars like Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman looking to ignite the lineup, this feels like a high-pressure response game for the Dodgers.
St. Louis counters with Michael McGreevy (1-2, 2.97 ERA), who has allowed one run or fewer in three starts this season. His consistency will be key against a Dodgers team desperate to break out.
