Summary
The St. Louis Cardinals stay hot, taking down the Kansas City Royals 4-2 to secure the series win. Kyle Leahy delivers his first career quality start, setting the tone in a dominant performance on the mound. But the real story? The “Tarps Off” crowd. A group from Stephen F. Austin’s club baseball team (NCBA Division II World Series in Alton, IL) brought wild energy to Busch Stadium—shirts off, twirling, chanting—and you could hear it loud and clear on the Cards.TV broadcast. That moment sparked early momentum and helped push the Cardinals ahead. Cardinals offense, Leahy’s breakout, and one of the most electric fan moments of the season—all in this game recap.
