MLB MLB power rankings: Cardinals back in NL Central basement - and on track for dubious mark Gabe Lacques USA TODAY St. Louis Cardinals fans encountered a rare, welcome sight on Sunday: Ryan Helsley, on the mound, closing a game. And closing a wound, they hope. Helsley had not pitched in eight days, because closers on bad teams aren't really necessary, and make no mistake: The Cardinals have been a bad team. They came into Sunday on a seven-game losing streak that included dropping the first three games of a key series at Milwaukee. And while the 4-3 win salvaged the finale, the Cardinals have to worry how much damage has been done. St. Louis is 16-24, already eight games behind the Brewers
Will the St. Louis Cardinals make some major changes this season? St. Louis has struggled as of late and is 1-9 over its last 10 games. The Cardinals are in last place in the National League Central with a disappointing 15-24 record. If the Cardinals can't turn things around quickly, it already has been speculated that the club could be sellers ahead of the trade deadline this summer.
