Despite another solid Michael McGreevy start--sure you can nitpick some things, and we probably well--the Cardinals walked about with an L tonight because the offense continues to struggle.

Count that for a one-run game that didn’t go the Cardinals way… Dustin May took a no-hitter into the 8th but three poor defensive plays from Torres, Gorman & Winn got him take out & then ruined a solid appearance by JoJo Romero as the Cardinals left a 1-0 lead to get stolen by the Brewers late. May’s run support has been terrible, but he’s pumping up that trade value! Is it time for the Cardinals...
