Summary

The St. Louis Cardinals, one win away from securing a wild-card berth in the postseason, return to Busch Stadium riding the longest winning streak in club history and one of the longest of all time in the closing month of a season. The Cardinals have won 16 consecutive games, bested teams from New York to Wisconsin, and are coming off of a four-game sweep of the Cubs at Wrigley Field. They even survived the infield-fly rule. So, what spurred this radical rewrite of a disappointing season? KMOX/1120 AM host Kevin Wheeler rejoins the Best Podcast in Baseball and Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold to discuss two pivotal elements of the revival: an offense hitting its stride and a defense that is by far the best, most aggressive, and most creative in baseball.

The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
