Nootbaar set the table beautifully in this one, reaching safely in all three of his plate appearances against Aaron Nola. He is totally locked in right now in terms of pitch selection and has a .403 on-base percentage in what’s now been two straight weeks atop the Cardinals’ lineup. It was nice to see him steal his first two bases of the season too.

A bare-minimum quality start for the second straight outing. Gray had his best velocity of the year today, averaging 92.8 mph with his sinker, but he gave up 10 hard-hit balls and seven hits anyway. Gray remained 3-0 with a 3.60 ERA for the season. No one who drafted Gray in early March, before he turned in his bad spring and produced some mildly disturbing injury news at the end of the month, can complain about his performance thus far. For those who drafted just prior to Opening Day, he’s looking like a bargain. He’ll face the Mets next.

Helsley still got the win when the Cardinals scored in the bottom of the ninth. Before that, he threw 16 pitches and got missed swings on none of them, which is odd for him. Still, his velocity was fine, and unlike in his previous blown save this year, walks were not a problem today. He has a 3.60 ERA through 10 innings.

Herrera caught a bullpen session on Saturday and is aiming to begin a minor league rehab assignment by the end of next week. The 24-year-old backstop was originally expected to miss roughly one month after being diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee back in early April. It appears there’s a decent shot he’ll rejoin the Cardinals’ lineup at some point in early May.

Greene’s contributions in the first game were mostly on defense, as he made a pair of fine catches in left. In the second game, he opened the Tigers’ scoring with his homer off Charlie Morton in the third. It was his first long ball since Apr. 4, when he hit his third in seven games to open the year, and it gave him his first three-RBI day of 2025.

Duran’s straight steal of home was Boston’s first since Jacoby Ellsbury did it on the same date in 2009. He’s 8-for-10 stealing bases this season, even as he’s been a disappointment in the other categories to date.

Kepler knocked a base hit in the second inning, then put the Phillies on the board with a single in the fourth to drive in a run. He later extended the team lead with a solo homer off Ethan Roberts in the seventh inning. The 32-year-old outfielder is off to a strong start with his new team, hitting .267/.357/.407 with two homers and 12 runs scored across 98 plate appearances.
