Kudos where kudos are due: Busch Stadium apparently (finally!) has settled on a winning anthem, and it's a good one.

Two #stlcards home wins into 2026, and they've concluded both with the blaring, guitar-wailing peak of Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Through five innings here at Busch, #stlcards Michael McGreevy has allowed only two baserunners. Neither of them reached via a hit.

On the other side, #Rays starter Joe Boyle allowed two runs, but has now retired last 10 consecutive.
