Cardinals Aim to Clip Cubs' Wings at Busch Stadium

First Inning

As the St. Louis Cardinals prepare to host the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium on June 25, 2025, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The Cards have shown a remarkable ability to dominate early in games, as evidenced by their recent performance against the Chicago White Sox on June 17. In that game, they exploded for five runs in the second inning alone, setting a tone of aggression and precision that carried them through to a decisive victory.

The Redbirds' lineup is stacked with hitters who can capitalize on any pitching mistakes made by the Cubbies. With an impressive team batting average of .333 from their last outing against the White Sox, it's clear that when they get going early, they're hard to stop. Expect them to come out swinging from the first pitch.

Middle Innings

In recent matchups like their game against Milwaukee Brewers on June 14 and June 15, STL demonstrated resilience in middle innings despite facing tough opposition. Against Milwaukee on June 14th, they managed three runs in both fourth and fifth innings which proved pivotal for their win.

The Cards' bullpen has been particularly effective during these middle frames; they've maintained a low ERA while keeping opposing batters off balance with strategic pitch selection and solid defense behind them. This will be crucial as they face CHC's lineup known for its depth and ability to rally mid-game.

Late Innings

Closing out games has been another strength for STL this season. Their bullpen's performance against MIL highlighted this capability where late-inning composure helped secure victories even when under pressure from opponents mounting comebacks.
