A picture is worth a thousand words, as we know. So, instead of two thousand words, here are two photos — one for Friday night’s game and one for yesterday’s.

Friday
Orioles 12, Cardinals 2

Saturday
Orioles 10, Cardinals 3

Pretty accurate?

So, today, can the Cardinals avoid the sweep? Perhaps more realistically, can the Cardinals not allow double-digits in runs to the Orioles for one game and not let them total double-digits in home runs for the series? (They’ve hit nine so far. This month, the Cards’ total is eight.)

We will find out starting at 12:35 p.m. Central Time, with Lance Lynn and Kevin Gausman the starters.

In Lance we trust! Hopefully, anyway …
