Exit velocity has never been Walker’s issue, but it was all weak contact from him tonight; his three balls in play were two popups and one grounder, all hit softer than 70 mph. He’s 3-for-15 with no extra-base hits since coming off the injured list Sunday, and although the Iván Herrera injury has lessened the playing time crunch in St. Louis, the Cardinals have to be weighing burning his last option year and sending him down.

Gray’s only run allowed came in the third inning on two hits and a groundout. He scattered three more hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five frames, ending his day at 79 pitches. The 35-year-old right-hander will carry a 3.72 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 90/17 K/BB ratio across 84 2/3 innings into a start against the Guardians in Cleveland on Friday.

Tucker joined Ian Happ in the first inning, going deep off Emmerson Hancock. It was his only hit of the day as he drew a walk later in the game. The 28-year-old star outfielder is hitting .283/.395/.520 with 14 homers, 53 runs scored, 44 RBI, and 18 steals across 334 plate appearances.

Cook went 2-for-6 with a run scored over three games with the Pirates while veteran Bryan Reynolds was away from the club on paternity leave. The 26-year-old rookie heads back to the minors for now, but he could get another look at some point later this year.

Not great. Barger will presumably undergo further evaluation and testing this weekend to determine whether he’ll require a trip to the injured list. It’ll be Davis Schneider taking over in right field. The 25-year-old rookie has been a revelation this season for Toronto, hitting .270/.332/.500 with eight homers, 24 RBI and one steal over 54 games. There should be some clarity on his status ahead of Sunday’s series finale at the Rogers Centre.
