As the Cardinals prepare to host the Brewers at Busch Stadium, all eyes are on Paul Goldschmidt, whose recent performances have been nothing short of spectacular. The first baseman has been a beacon of consistency and power for the Cardinals, showcasing his ability to change the game with a single swing.

On the Brewers' side, William Contreras has emerged as a key player. The catcher's performance has been pivotal, batting .500 with an RBI over the past three games. His ability to get on base and drive in runs has made him an essential part of the Brewers' offensive strategy.


The Cardinals have seen significant contributions from other players as well. Nolan Gorman, playing second base, has demonstrated his hitting prowess by maintaining a .333 average across these games. His discipline at the plate and ability to get on base have provided the Cardinals with much-needed stability.
