THE REDBIRD REVIEW During their three-game winning streak it’s been fun to watch the Cardinals dig in and fight. Their 8-6 victory Monday at Washington was ruthless, with the feisty visitors wiping out an early 5-0 deficit. This tenacious erasure was meaningful for a...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals were able to grab two straight wins in New York before moving down the Atlantic coast for three games in Washington. They took two of three at Citi Field to win their first series since May 21, and the two-game winning streak is their...
