[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1794410, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/clinched-cardinals-claim-2022-nl-central-crown-fourth-consecutive-playoff-berth/article_25f744a5-3429-5bfa-8ac9-ef718db42790.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/dgoold']Derrick Goold[/URL] MILWAUKEE — The first goal the Cardinals set for themselves in spring training, the gateway goal that would get them into the postseason and closer to achieving their loftiest ambition, is also the one Nolan Arenado has brought up several times in recent weeks as a reminder. What the Cardinals do regularly, he’s yet to do in his career. Until now. Nine-time Gold Glove winner, seven-time All-Star and perennial MVP candidate Arenado is now a first-time division champion. He has the T-shirt to prove it. It will likely need to be washed. With a win as definitive as their lead in the division, the Cardinals claimed the National League Central crown Tuesday night with a 6-2 victory against second-place Milwaukee at American Family Field. The Cardinals earn their fourth consecutive playoff berth and will enter this year’s expanded format as the third seed in the NL playoffs. By claiming the season series against the Brewers, the Cardinals earned the tiebreaker for the division title, their 13th shared or outright title of the NL Central. Since the division was created in the mid-1990s and chairman Bill DeWitt Jr.’s group began ownership, the Cardinals have more NL Central titles than the other four teams currently in the division combined. The Cardinals have won 16 division titles since MLB cleaved the leagues in halves and then thirds. “It will be the first time I’ve been a part of a team that won a division,” said Arenado, who was part of last year’s wild-card Cardinals after spending eight years with Colorado behind the Dodgers. “Having a chance to win the division. That’s what I envisioned (coming to St. Louis).” [/QUOTE]
