The Cardinals took the series finale from the Yankees Wednesday night in the Bronx, winning 3-to-1. Right-hander Andre Pallante outdueled Will Warren, and St. Louis avoided losing the series after Monday’s 13-7 slugfest win, splitting the middle two games with New York in between.
Manager Aaron Boone’s club still has plenty to like even after Wednesday’s loss. Aaron Judge was cleared for light activity this week after his fractured rib was re-imaged, and he remains confident about returning before the season ends — a boost the lineup badly needs down the stretch.
New York now sits at 64 and 51, second in the A-L East, and holding the top American League Wild Card spot. The Yankees get a day off before hosting the Atlanta Braves for a three-game series starting Friday night at Yankee Stadium, kicking off a nine-game homestand that also includes Seattle later in the month.
