MLB: St. Louis Cardinals at Milwaukee Brewers

Welp. The Cardinals are still hovering right around .500. What’s new? (Besides these great articles!!!)

First off, here is a timely piece on how to help Houston after Hurricane Harvey.
Matt Carpenter is also pitching in (hitting in?) to help Houston—a commendable move.
Audrey Stark has a great piece on Mike Leake’s downturn.
In the latest Daily Farm Report, Adolis Garcia takes care of business and then some.
Finally, I take a look at Tommy Pham’s new skill: going the opposite way.

That’s all for now. Happy hump day!
