September 12 - Left-hander John Means will make his first start since April 13, 2022, when the host Baltimore Orioles face the St. Louis Cardinals in the middle contest of a three-game series on Tuesday night. In his most recent step on the comeback trail, Means threw a bullpen session on Saturday. He went 1-1 with a 3.74 ERA in six minor league rehab starts over the past month. He lost to the Orioles on June 17, 2017, when he was hammered for nine runs in 1 2/3 innings. One more loss would ensure that the Cardinals finish with their first losing record since 2007, when they went 78-84.

September 12 - As the Philadelphia Phillies inch toward a potential second consecutive playoff berth, bullpen success will become even more vital. The Phillies (79-65) will now look for a lead in the four-game series when they host the Braves again on Tuesday. "Our bullpen is gonna be the difference if we win or lose ballgames," Kimbrel told NBC Sports Philadelphia after the game. Following the frustrating loss in the opener, the bullpen was a major reason why the Phillies came up with a split. Edmundo Sosa doubled, singled and knocked in two runs for Philadelphia in the second contest, and Brandon Marsh added a solo homer.

Braves bid to tee off against Pirates in rematch
  + stars: | 2023-09-09 | by ( Field Level Media | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
September 9 - The Atlanta Braves seem to be in taking-care-of-business mode with the Pittsburgh Pirates in town. The Braves (92-48) opened a three-game series against the Pirates with an 8-2 win Friday, flexing their considerable muscle on offense while benefiting from strong pitching. After that, the Braves reeled off seven straight series wins before dropping two of three games to the Cardinals. The Braves, however, set the tone for this set by carving up the Pirates ace Mitch Keller on Friday. Oviedo has faced the Braves once, throwing 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief on July 4, 2022, while pitching for St. Louis.

The teams will meet on June 8 and 9 at the London Stadium in the third edition of the MLB London series.

Saturday afternoon was better for Marmol, whose Cardinals snapped a six-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the Mets at Citi Field.

Don Denkinger was regarded as one of the finest major-league umpires of his time. Working in the American League from 1969 to 1998, he was assigned to four World Series and three All-Star Games. But when Denkinger died Friday in Waterloo, Iowa, at 86, he was remembered mostly for his famously botched call on baseball’s greatest stage. In 1985, Denkinger was umpiring at first base in Game 6 of the World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals. The Royals’ Jorge Orta, who led off, hit a bounder to the Cardinals’ first baseman, Jack Clark.

NEW YORK, May 9 (Reuters) - Major League Baseball (MLB) is expected to send the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies across the Atlantic Ocean next year for their annual London Series of games, a source with knowledge of the plans told Reuters on Tuesday. The World Series runners up Phillies and their NL East rivals Mets have not officially been announced and plans are still being finalized. Sports Illustrated first reported the two teams would take part in the London Series. The St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs are expected to play next month at London Stadium, after the league agreed last year to hold "major events" in the UK capital over a span of five years.
