Last Thursday night, the Cardinals had the best record in the major leagues.

They haven’t won a game since. Six losses in a row … and counting.

Details on tonight? The fact the Cards were swept by the Nationals pretty much says it all.

Thanks to the Cubs taking three of four from the Brewers, the Cards remain only one game back in the NL Central. However, the Reds are two games back. And the Pirates — yes, the Pirates — have won four straight and are 35-33, only three games back.
