Arenado singled in the automatic runner in the 10th, but he was retired while trying to take second base on the throw. The Cardinals still wound up getting an insurance run anyway, as Lars Nootbaar homered. Arenado’s homer, his ninth of the year, was a 385-footer to left-center that would have left 12 ballparks. No. 350 puts him into a tie with Chili Davis for 102nd on the all-time list. Next up are Dick Allen at 351 and Ryan Braun, Ellis Burks and Freddie Freeman at 352.

Serving as the Cardinals’ 27th man, McGreevy struck out five and left with a 6-1 lead. It should have led to his fifth victory in seven career appearances, but the Cardinals blew the entire five-run lead in the seventh before winning in extras. McGreevy will return to Triple-A now, but he’s in line for more spot starts.

The Cardinals weren’t willing to use Phil Maton or Ryan Helsley twice today, but they did so with Granillo, allowing him to pick up his first major league victory and save on the very same day. The 25-year-old Granillo was just called up for the first time a week ago. He threw four pitches for the win, getting one out to conclude the seventh inning. He finished the save by setting down Austin Slater with his first career strikeout. He’s yet to allow a run in five innings since being called up.

Burleson also had two hits in the first game today, and he finished the three-game series 7-for-13 with two homers, raising his OPS from .764 to .814. He’s making it really difficult for the Cardinals to ever rotate him out of the lineup, which seems like bad news for Jordan Walker.

The homer off Kevin Gausman was wind-aided and would typically have been a flyout, but this just seems like it’s Suárez’s year. His 22nd homer still leaves him eight shy of last year’s mark, but it matches his total from 162 games with the Mariners in 2023. He’s second in the majors with 162 RBI, one behind Pete Alonso. His current pace would have him finishing with 136. Suárez does already have three 100-RBI seasons under his belt, but his career high is 104 from 2018. 2018 was also the year of his only All-Star appearance, something that figures to change in the coming weeks.

Smith will not start for a third consecutive game because of his hamstring tightness. The good news is Rangers manager Bruce Bochy told reporters that Smith will be available off the bench. Assuming no setbacks, there’s a very good chance that Smith will be back in the Texas starting nine by the end of the weekend.

The 23-year-old has now homered in back-to-back games and has 10 homers on the season to go along with a .276/.393/.470 slash line and 55 RBIs in 69 games. He’s the 44th-ranked prospect in all of baseball, according to MLB Pipeline, but there is no place for him in Los Angeles right now. Perhaps he’s used as a trade chip at the deadline to help the Dodgers’ injured rotation. If not, we likely won’t see him until 2026, unless there’s an injury.
