“Could Gray’s Unexpected Strategy Be the Key to Outsmarting Pirates?”
The Cardinals are just 4-6 to start their season, and they are still searching for their first road victory of the year. They are hitting the ball very well to start the year with a .297 batting average and 109 hits on the season. That’s almost 11 hits per game for the team. In addition, the team is also mashing the ball with 16 of those hits finding their way over the fence. The problem is that their pitching staff has been as awful as the offense has been good. St. Louis pitchers are currently throwing to a 6.18 ERA and they have a 1.39 WHIP. The team is not striking anyone out and they aren’t missing many bats either with a .261 opponent batting average. This evening they are putting their best pitcher on the mound with Sonny Gray taking the hill. Gray was one of our first wins of the season when he opened against the Twins. He wasn’t quite as good in the second start of the year, going six innings but allowing five earned runs. The Cardinals did win that game, though. Against the Pirates in his career, Gray has held them to a .235 batting average.Â
