Cardinals By The Numbers: 06/16/2025
We’re switching to every other week with the column, & this was not a fun one to put together. After weeks of strong play, the team is coming back down from being one of the hottest teams in the league.

We’re switching to every other week with the column, & this was not a fun one to put together. After weeks of strong play, the team is coming back down from being one of the hottest teams in the league.

The Cardinals come home with a split on the road last week; they took 2 of 3 from the Orioles while dropping 2 of 3 to the Rangers. Not only did they struggle against Texas, a lot of the progress they made leading up to the series disappeared with a -15 run differential

The Cardinals cooled off a little bit over the last week, but they’re still playing pretty well overall. They dropped 2 of 3 to the Tigers, which might be worrisome any other year, before sweeping the D’backs. They also dropped the 1st game to Baltimore in their 3 game series thanks to Dylan Carlson.

I’ve been wanting to start a weekly column going over just the numbers: records, runs scored, top players, etc. After this week, this will be a Monday morning thing, but I wanted to kick it off sooner than next week. So here we are.

The Cardinals return to Busch Stadium to open a 6-game homestand with a 3-game weekend series with the Mets (May 2-4), followed by 3 games against the Pirates (May 5-7).

The Cardinals open their 2025 home schedule with three games against the Minnesota Twins (March 27-30) followed by another three-game Interleague series with the Los Angeles Angels (March 31-April 2).

The Cardinals will begin their 134th season of play in the NL today when they host the Minnesota Twins at 3:15 p.m. CDT in the season opening game of the 162-game MLB regular season.

A pregame ceremony that introduces the 2025 Cardinals, honors the club’s HOFers & celebrates the great tradition of Opening Day in St. Louis will highlight the annual return of baseball at Busch Stadium on Thursday.
