Phillies Linked To Trade For Cardinals Pitcher Not Named Ryan Helsley
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies have long been linked to a trade that would send Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley to Philadelphia. The Phillies need relief pitching this season, and Helsley is the top name on the market. But if Philadelphia doesn't want to trade away the prospects it would take to land Helsley, it could turn to a different Cardinals pitcher as a trade target. Colin Keane of Sports Illustrated recently suggested the Cardinals and Phillies could come together on a trade that would send reliever Steven Matz to Philadelphia. ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - JUNE 3: Steven Matz #32 of the St. Louis Cardinals pitches against the Kansas City Royals at Busch Stadium on June 3, 2025 in St Louis, Missouri. ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - JUNE 3: Steven Matz #32 of the St. Louis Cardinals pitches against the Kansas City Royals at Busch Stadium on June 3, 2025 in St Louis, Missouri."The Philadelphia Phillies are gearing up for the 2025 Major League Baseball trade deadline," Keane wrote. "Between now and July 31, Philadelphia's front office will be tasked with adding pieces to ensure World Series contention. "Philadelphia should be monitoring the St. Louis Cardinals as important sellers, especially as Thomas Harrigan recently identified 34-year-old reliever Steven Matz as a possible trade chip. This trade could be a win-win, giving the Phillies a proven arm to chase a World Series title while providing the Cardinals with assets to bolster their ongoing youth movement." Matz has been solid this season and would provide the Phillies with a solid lefty out of the bullpen. But Philadelphia needs a big upgrade, not a trivial one. If the Phillies are going to call the Cardinals, it should be about the aforementioned Helsley. It would be quite disappointing the the Philadelphia faithful if Matz were to be the team's top bullpen acquisition of the season. It wouldn't be a bad move if the Phillies could add him for cheap, but it can't be the only bullpen addition if they're serious about competing for a World Series this season.

Nolan Arenado's ninth-inning RBI double lifts the Cardinals over the Dodgers 2-1
Nolan Arenado delivered a pinch-hit RBI double in the ninth inning and the St. Louis Cardinals stifled the Los Angeles Dodgers' offense for a second straight game in a 2-1 victory on Saturday. Nolan Gorman led off the ninth with a ground-rule double before being replaced with a pinch runner. After Pedro Pages reached on an error by pitcher Ben Casparius (4-1), the Dodgers vacated left field to play with five infielders, and Arenado's lazy fly ball landed just inside the foul line and bounced into the stands for another ground-rule double. The Dodgers, who lead the majors in scoring, home runs and batting average, were held scoreless for the first 17 innings of the series, but managed to tie it when Shohei Ohtani scored on a wild pitch by Ryan Helsley (3-0) in the top of the ninth. It was the second straight blown save for Helsley. Masyn Winn raced home on Alec Burleson's infield single to put St. Louis ahead 1-0 in the eighth inning. Erick Fedde walked four and struck out two in 5 1-3 scoreless innings, giving up four singles. He allowed the first two batters to reach in the sixth before striking out Andy Pages. Steven Matz retired the next two batters to end that threat. Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out nine in six scoreless innings, allowing four singles and two walks. Key moment After getting drilled in the right forearm with a line drive from Mookie Betts that went for the Dodgers' second infield single of the inning, Matz got NL batting leader Freddie Freeman to ground into an inning-ending double play in the seventh to keep it scoreless. Key stat The Dodgers have not been shut out in consecutive games since losing back-to-back 1-0 games against the San Francisco Giants to start the 2018 season. Up next The Cardinals are expected to call up RHP Michael McGreevy (1-0, 0.00 ERA) to make his second start of the season Sunday against Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw (0-0, 5.17). McGreevy threw 5 2-3 scoreless innings in a win against the Mets on May 4.

Royals starter Michael Lorenzen allowed seven runs on seven hits and a walk in 2 2/3 innings. He struck out two. But Royals relievers Daniel Lynch IV, Steven Cruz (2-0), Angel Zerpa, John Schreiber, Taylor Clarke and Carlos Estevez (17th save) combined to blank the Cardinals from there. Nolan Gorman and Alec Burleson hit two-run homers for the Cardinals, who have lost three of their last four games. Andre Pallante allowed seven runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out two and walked none. Reliever Steven Matz (3-2) took the loss. The Royals took a 2-0 first-inning lead. India led off the game with a single and Witt hit a two-run blast for just his second homer in 23 games. The Cardinals tied the game in the second inning on a Burleson single and Gorman's homer off the glove of leaping center fielder Kyle Isbel. St. Louis moved ahead 7-2 in the third inning. Masyn Winn hit a single, Brendan Donovan walked and Willson Contreras hit a ground-rule double to notch his 500th career RBI. Nolan Arenado hit a run-scoring infield single, then another run scored on third baseman Garcia's throwing error. Burleson followed with a two-run homer. Kansas City surged ahead 8-7 in the fifth inning. Loftin's homer started the comeback, then Drew Waters, Isbel and India hit singles, followed by a two-run single by Witt. After Pasquantino greeted Matz with a two-run double, Salvador Perez hit an RBI single. The Royals pushed their lead to 10-7 in the sixth inning off Matz and Kyle Leahy. Isbel and India hit singles, Witt walked and Garcia hit a two-run single. --Field Level Media

Arenado's tiebreaking homer in the 8th helps the Cardinals beat the Orioles 7-4
BALTIMORE (AP) — Nolan Arenado hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals topped the Baltimore Orioles 7-4 on Tuesday night. The Orioles were on a season-high three-game winning streak, but they reverted to old habits, going 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position. The lone hit was a three-run homer by Ryan O'Hearn that gave Baltimore a 4-3 lead in the fifth, but the Cardinals responded with a run in the seventh and three in the eighth off the Orioles' bullpen. Bryan Baker (3-1) gave up Arenado's solo shot with one out in the eighth, and then Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker followed with consecutive triples that eluded Baltimore outfielders. Masyn Winn's RBI single made it 7-4. St. Louis took a 3-0 lead in the second inning on Lars Nootbaar's two-run homer off Tomoyuki Sugano. The Orioles finally scored on Cardinals starter Andre Pallante in the fourth. Defensive sloppiness in that inning allowed Baltimore to load the bases with nobody out. The Orioles nearly came away with nothing when Jorge Mateo struck out and Heston Kjerstad hit a potential double play ball to second, but first baseman Alec Burleson couldn't handle Winn's bouncing throw and Kjerstad was safe with an RBI fielder's choice. O'Hearn put Baltimore ahead in the fifth, but the Orioles failed to score in the sixth after Mateo singled and stole second and third. Chadwick Tromp struck out for the second out, and Steven Matz (3-1) came on and retired Jackson Holliday on a grounder to end the inning. Ryan Helsley pitched the ninth for his 11th save in 13 chances. Key moments The Orioles squandered man-on-second, nobody-out situations in the second and sixth. Key stats St. Louis has won 11 of its last 17 road games after losing 10 of its first 11. Up next Miles Mikolas (4-2) starts for St. Louis against Cade Povich (1-3) in Wednesday night's series finale, weather permitting. ___ AP MLB:
