Game Summary
St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Chicago White Sox 7-3. The Cardinals took control with a three-run fifth inning that turned a 3-2 game into a 6-2 advantage and supplied steady run production the rest of the way. Joshua Báez went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBIs and Leo Bernal was 3-for-4 with two RBIs, while Alec Burleson delivered a run-scoring double and knock that helped fuel the rally. Chase Meidroth hit two homers for Chicago (2-for-4, 2 HR) but his power could not overcome St. Louis’ middle-inning surge. St. Louis’ bullpen turned in scoreless work after the starter, with Gordon Graceffo, Riley O’Brien and Ryne Stanek blanking Chicago over multiple frames. Graceffo was credited with the win; Anthony Kay took the loss after four innings and three earned runs.
