Game Preview 5/10/25: Cardinals Vs Nationals

Cardinals looking to win 7 in a row!

Last night’s win against the Washington Nationals felt a lot like the Cardinals continuing to go to another level. The return of Ivan Herrera and his potent production showed, yet again, why he is one of the Cardinals most important young hitters during this “transition” season. The Cardinals have won 6 games in a row and Cardinals starting pitchers have been rolling with 3 straight performances of 7 innings or more and 3 runs or less. The Redbirds look to win another series today and set up a chance for a sweep against a very tough young left hander on Mother’s Day.

First Pitch: 3:05 PM CST

Todays matchup:

STL: Andre Pallante – (2-2 4.75 ERA 5.41 xERA 5.44 FIP 4.06 xFIP)

Vs

WSH: Trevor Williams – (2-3 5.86 ERA 3.70 xERA 4.18 FIP 4.10 xFIP)

Players to watch:

STL: Willson Contreras – Contreras has his average all the way up over .250 and shares the team lead in home runs with Nootbaar. A 2 RBI double last night continued his productive ways and has the 2nd most at bats against Williams in the Cardinals starting lineup so look for that experience to continue his hot stretch.

WSH: CJ Abrams – Though relatively lifeless in last nights ball game. Abrams is still hitting .304 on the season and and .888 OPS. He is another one of the Nationals young dynamic bats.
