Tigers Routed by Cardinals as Rain Delay Extends Gloomy Night in St. Louis

The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Detroit Tigers 11-4 on Monday, May 19, 2025, in a rain-delayed game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
The Cardinals dominated after a 34-minute rain stoppage in the seventh inning, building on a season stretch with 13 wins in 15 games and 85-36 run advantage.
Pitcher Sonny Gray threw six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts and three hits allowed, while multiple Cardinals batters contributed two or more hits each to a 16-hit attack.
Cardinal Pedro Pags hit a two-run homer in the seventh, part of the team's recent power surge with 11 home runs over 11 games, and left fielder Lars Nootbaar made a highlight-reel catch crashing into the wall in the fourth inning.
Despite the loss, the Tigers maintain the MLB-best 31-17 record, and the teams will meet again Tuesday with Tarik Skubal facing Erick Fedde, while Tigers manager A.J. Hinch lamented, "We didn't play good baseball, and they did.
