The Springfield Cardinals looked rough this week, losing four straight to finish out the series against Frisco. The starting pitching, which had been on fire in June, fell apart at times. Nick Dunn continues to touch gold with his bat, and Chandler Redmond hit his 20th home run in a record pursuit. As the first half of the season closed, the Birds finished two games under .500, in a sad way to end an otherwise optimistic June.
