Analyzing the past performances, it's evident that the Cardinals have faced some tough competition. Despite a hard-fought battle against the Nationals where they showcased resilience and determination, the outcomes were mixed. In one instance, their bullpen struggled with an ERA of 27.0 over 4 innings pitched, indicating some vulnerability in late-game scenarios. However, they also demonstrated moments of brilliance; for example, during another game against the Nationals where both teams extended into extra innings before the Cardinals narrowly missed out on victory.


A key takeaway from these games is the Cardinals' ability to hit under pressure and their defensive solidity when it counts most. With an impressive fielding percentage standing at 100 percent across multiple games and showcasing strategic base running with stolen bases despite tight situations.
