Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:11:44 GMT

CHICAGO - Coming off a career-worst start, in which he allowed 10 earned runs in less than three innings, St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty navigated through some tough situations Tuesday, but still finished without another win to his record.
