The concern the Cardinals saw coming has arrived, and its starting to cost them game to game, not just within games. For the second time in as many games against Atlanta, the Cardinals’ starter allowed at least six runs and pitched fewer than five innings. The hard math of that unsustainable model is the strain it puts on the relievers day to day, let alone the obstacle it asks the offense to overcome. The Braves pounced on rookie right-hander Andre Pallante for five runs in the first inning and seven runs total on their way to a 7-1 victory Tuesday at Truist Park. In two games in Atlanta, the Cardinals’ two starters have allowed 13 runs and 19 hits in 7²/³ innings. But the issue is hardly centered in Cobb County. In the previous 13 games, the Cardinals rotation has a 5.97 ERA, and including the 10 hits Pallante allowed Tuesday, the starters have given up 84 hits in 63¹/³ innings. Since Yadier Molina went on the injured list with knee inflammation, it’s the rotation that has experienced a swelling ERA. The staff has allowed 57 earned runs in his previous 92²/³ innings.
