Pitcher Dustin May signed a one-year contract and posted a 5.00 ERA in his first ten starts of the season.
The Cardinals went 1-4 on their recent road trip and recorded a league-worst .222 batting average with runners in scoring position.

Summary

Brewers Leave Pitcher

Brewers manager left pitcher Chad Patrick on mound in the fourth despite a runner on and left-handed hitter Bryan Torres.
Patrick then allowed a two-out RBI triple to Torres, giving the Cardinals a 1-0 lead while striking out the side.
Pitcher Dustin May threw 54 pitches in four innings, showed sharper command, recorded two strikeouts in the fourth and kept Milwaukee scoreless, prompting coaches to stress mastering the middle innings.

History

Historical Context

The 2017 Houston Astros used a center-field camera to steal signs, prompting Rob Manfred’s 2020 investigation that fined the club $5 million and stripped its 2020-21 first- and second-round draft picks while suspending GM Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch. MLB’s 2022 rule changes now require video monitoring, a backdrop to the Brewers-Cardinals dugout-signing dispute involving Oliver Marmol and Abner Uribe.
