The St. Louis Cardinals fell back to .500 with a 9-3 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Matthew Liberatore gave up two homers, but it was two walks to start the fourth inning that turned into three runs for Cleveland and they never looked back. The Cardinals surrendered three runs in the top of the fourth and trailed the rest of the way.
Jordan Walker homered in the losing effort. Walker became the fifth player in Cardinals history to hit at least eight homers in the first 16 games of a season, joining Stan Musial (1954), Mark McGwire (1998), Scott Rolen (2004) and Albert Pujols (2006).
