St. Louis Cardinals 1 – 5 Los Angeles Angels

MLB · July 22, 2026 · Final
🎧 Post-Game Report (audio)

Post-Game Recap

The Los Angeles Angels rolled into St. Louis and left with a commanding five to one victory over the Cardinals, and it wasn't close from the jump.

The Angels didn't wait around. Right there in the first inning, Jorge Soler stepped in with runners on and doubled to left, scoring both Schanuel and Trout to make it two nothing before most fans had settled into their seats. Grissom followed with a single to right, plating Soler and extending the lead to three. And then Jo Adell put the game away before it ever really started, launching a four hundred and five foot bomb to left center that cleared the bases and made it five nothing Cardinals in trouble.

St. Louis tried to find life in the fifth, when Wetherholt grounded into a fielder's choice that scored Jordan and got them on the board at one to five, but that was it. That was the entirety of the Cardinals' offense. Adell's blast in the first was the knockout punch, and the Cardinals never recovered.

On the St. Louis side, Nick Burleson went three for four and gave the lineup something to build on, but the run support simply wasn't there. For the Angels, Soler drove in two and Trout reached base twice in a supporting cast that did exactly what it needed to do.

The Angels came in, struck fast, and never let St. Louis breathe. That's your post-game report. Sports Desk, signing off.
