Cardinals Aim for Series Win After Historic Debut by Joshua Baez

The St. Louis Cardinals are seeking a series win against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday after a remarkable performance by Joshua Baez, who made history by hitting three home runs in his major league debut during an 8-4 victory on Saturday.

Baez's achievement marks him as the first player to accomplish this feat in a debut, leaving him in awe of the experience. The Cardinals hope to clinch both road series against the Cubs for the first time since 2022 with a win on Sunday.

Starting pitcher Hunter Dobbins, who has struggled with run support in recent outings, aims to improve his performance against the Cubs. Dobbins has faced Chicago twice this season, with mixed results. Meanwhile, the Cubs, having won three consecutive series, are looking to bounce back after allowing a significant number of runs in their last game.
