"Helsley is a beast" "I mean it's the Marlins so pump the breaks" - MLB fans divided after St. Louis Cardinals pitchers outclass Miami Marlins in tight game

The St. Louis Cardinals and Miami Marlins continued their three-game series in St. Louis tonight.

The Cardinals gave the ball to starting pitcher Dakota Hudson. Hudson went five innings, allowing three earned runs. He faced off against Marlins starting pitcher Braxton Garrett. Garrett managed to go just 4.2 innings, allowing five earned runs.

The St. Louis Cardinals trailed early but managed to come back by as many as three runs to win by a score of 5-3.

The Cardinals' record now sits at 43-34 on the season, a 0.5 game behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central standings.

Closer Ryan Helsley got the save for St. Louis. It was his sixth save of the season. On the season, Helsley has an impressive 0.30 ERA and 12.74 strikeouts per nine innings.

Helsley is simply a beast this season and is looking more and more like an All-Star.

The St. Louis Cardinals have won the first two games of the series against the Miami Marlins. The Marlins are now 33-40 on the season.

While the comeback win was impressive, the Cardinals did what they should have done, and that is beat bad teams at home.

The Cardinals will look for a series sweep tomorrow night, with the first pitch scheduled for 7:45 PM EDT.
