Kyle Leahy has played 4 seasons for the Cardinals. He has 6 wins, 5 losses, an ERA of 3.76 and 120 strikeouts. He earned the Win against Detroit his last time out, going 5 innings and giving up 2 Earned Runs.
On this date in 1900, the St. Louis National League baseball team officially adopted the name Cardinals after having been known as the Perfectos the previous year.
Legend states that the nickname came from Sportswriter Willie McHale who reported a fan describing the new 1899 uniforms as having a "lovely shade of cardinal" rather than being specifically named for the Cardinal bird.
Suarez was considered one of the big acquisitions by the Red Sox fans, they expected him to be their #2, but so far he hasn’t panned out. Leahy is my new favorite Cardinal so I’m hoping for a good performance from him.
