By trying to win a seventh consecutive match for the first time in three seasons, the cardinals of St. Louis Visitants can win a serial victory against the Nationals of Washington in difficulty on Saturday afternoon.
Freshly out of a 10-0 victory against Washington on Friday, St. Louis won his last three games with a combined score of 17-1. During the opening of all three games, former national launcher Erick Fedde launched six -strokes against Washington.
Fedde has extended the recent success of the cardinals, while the last three starters of the club gave only one round in the last 23 rounds. The Victoires de Saint-Louis sequence has been the longest since they won eight games in a row in August 2022.
“We have just seen him do something special,” said Cardinals director Oliver Marmol about Fedde. “It was cool to see him navigate in this programming. When you look at (Washington), they are a left game all along, so for him to be able to go through this program as they oscillated, he had worked.”
Another right-hander will take the mound for Saint-Louis on Saturday, because Andre Pallante (2-2, 4.75 ERA) made his eighth start to the season. Pallante, 26, made four consecutive departures without winning a victory, including last Sunday, when he granted four deserved points in just 3 1/3 innings in a decision without a decision against the New York dishes. The cardinals won 5-4.
Pallante faced the Nationals five times (a departure) in her career, displaying a 1-1 file and an MPM of 7.36.
Washington between Saturday after losing three games in a row while granting 27 points. Leaving Mitchell Parker granted four points in four rounds on Friday, before the LEVEUR enclosure gave six points in the last five images.
“This was not good,” said Davey Martinez, national director, said the post-match. “I’m sitting here trying to understand what is wrong. Mitchell was struggling. I have been late. Our attack could simply not do it.
The 5.47 of the Nationals is the third highest of the majors, only better than the Rockies of Colorado (5.56) and Miami Marlins (5.86).
Another launcher in difficulty, the right-handed veteran Trevor Williams (2-3, 5.86), will start for Washington. The 33-year-old man did not experience more than 5 1/3 innings in one of his five departures this season, but he won a victory against the Reds of Cincinnati last Saturday, granting four 1/3 of sleeve points during a 11-6 victory.
Williams, a central rival of the longtime national league of the cardinals while he was with the Pittsburgh Pirates, has a 5-6 file with an MPM of 4.93 in 22 career appearances (17 departures) against Saint-Louis.
