Cardinals Edge Mariners 2-0 Behind Pagés

Pedro Pagés led the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners with a two-run homer in the eighth inning, marking his sixth home run of the season. Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert delivered a strong performance, striking out 10 batters and allowing only two hits in his second career complete game. Andrew Kittredge earned the win for the Cardinals while Ryan Helsley secured his major league-leading 43rd save. Despite the loss, the Mariners' Dylan Moore managed a hit in the ninth inning but was unable to rally the team as Helsley struck out Julio Rodríguez for the final out. The Cardinals' win contrasts with the Mariners' earlier 6-1 victory against them, where players like Dylan Moore and Julio Rodríguez contributed significantly. Moore's overall batting average remains a concern, while Rodríguez continues to showcase his speed and ability to get on base.
