Cardinals Set to Start Series Against Twins

The St. Louis Cardinals are set to begin a road series against the Minnesota Twins, with right-hander Andre Pallante starting the first game. The Cardinals, currently second in the NL Central, look to build on consecutive wins but have struggled historically at Target Field. Recently, they secured a series win over the Milwaukee Brewers, highlighted by Nolan Arenado's walk-off grand slam in a 10-6 victory, which snapped Milwaukee's six-game winning streak. Notable performances included Luken Baker's two-run homer and Miles Mikolas' effective pitching. The Cardinals' recent successes contrast with earlier struggles, but they remain 10 games behind the Brewers in the divisional race.
