Cardinals currently have longest winning streak in NL Central
Yes, a 1 game winning streak as Cubs, Brewers, Reds, and Pirates all lost today. Seems odd to type that especially since the Cardinals have the worst NLC division W-L record in the last 10 games at 4-6 .
Other NLC news: In the Brewers loss to Miami, 1st baseman Rhys Hoskins injured his left thumb executing a swipe tag on the Marlin runner . X rays show no fracture but he was removed from the game after that inning as he could not grip a bat ( that thumb is bottom hand of his righty swing ) .
Manager Pat Murphy expects him to be out at least 'a few days' .
Regarding playoff race : Excluding the three division leaders , here are the losses for the wildcard
Mets 38
Brewers 40
Padres 40 ( Padres play Rangers later tonight )

Good news is that the Mariners gave the Pirates a 1-0 loss. So all is good ! All NLC teams did lose (with exception of Cardinals )
Double good news is that the Rangers just defeated the Padres tonight 7-4 ! Padres are now 47-41 wit Cardinals at 48-42.

Re: Cardinals currently have longest winning streak in NL Central
Obviously I want the team to win the NLC but at least being in a September pennant race will tell us more about the development of the young players.
Gorman, Walker, Saggese, Scott, McGreevy, etc need that experience!

Re: Cardinals currently have longest winning streak in NL Central
Probanly add Wetherholt as likely he would be called up similar to Winn September call-up couple years ago. If JJ brought up, he would get playing time too.
From Sept. 5th til 28th , the Cardinals have 6 games each vs. Giants and Brewers. Both should be vying for playoff spots.
Final 3 games vs. Cubs at Wrigley.
