The St. Louis Cardinals are fighting back into contention, but that won't keep these players on the roster through the trade deadline for various reasons.
Mookie Betts hit a three-run homer, Tony Gonsolin combined with four relievers on a two-hitter as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 on Friday night. Gonsolin (2-1) continued his comeback from his spring training ankle injury. The 2022 All-Star had picked up his first win of the season Sunday against San Diego after firing five scoreless innings.
Tony Gonsolin lasted five scoreless innings, the longest start by a Dodgers pitcher all week, Mookie Betts put the game away with a three-run home run in the eighth inning. James Outman made a home-run-saving catch, and Chris Taylor’s run-scoring double gave the Dodgers the lead.
