Yesterday, the St. Louis Cardinals had to deal with the feeling of losing a game and not winning a series, two occurrences that have become pretty rare for them.
Their run of 11 series wins in 12 series started with a road series win over the Washington Nationals at the end of July.
Yesterday, the same team stopped them short of an eighth straight series win, claiming a split of the teams' four-game series in St. Louis with an 11-6 win.
Still, taking seven series out of eight and 11 of your last 13 and winning 30 of your last 40 games is pretty darn impressive, and the Card inals are favored to get back into the win column tonight in Pittsburgh.
