Cardinals light up Los Angeles, Brewers restore eight-game lead, Angels agree to $4B ownership deal
Cardinals light up Los Angeles!
This is The Sports Reset for Wednesday September 2nd
In MLB, the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 13 to 8, powered by five home runs. Thomas Saggese hit two of them, Leo Bernal drove in two runs with his first major-league hit, and St. Louis posted its highest run total ever at Dodger Stadium. The Cardinals entered the night four and a half games out of the final National League wild-card spot, so an explosive opener kept their chase moving. The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 9 to 4 as Christian Yelich broke a tie with a two-run homer in a four-run sixth inning, restoring Milwaukee’s eight-game NL Central lead. In UFC action, Adam Darby beat Patrick Rivera in the Dana White’s Contender Series main event, and Darby was among five winners awarded UFC contracts.
Looking ahead in MLB, the Brewers and Cubs meet again at Wrigley Field, with Jacob Misiorowski bringing a 14 and 5 record and a 1 point 73 ERA against David Peterson, who is 7 and 7 with a 5 point 11 ERA. At Dodger Stadium, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, 12 and 8 with a 2 point 56 ERA, starts for the Dodgers against the Cardinals after St. Louis’s five-homer opener. The NFL season begins next Wednesday when the New England Patriots visit the defending champion Seattle Seahawks in a Super Bowl rematch. Beyond the scoreboard, the Los Angeles Angels agreed to transfer controlling ownership from Arte Moreno to Stan Kroenke in a reported 4 billion dollar deal that remains subject to MLB approval.
