While Elizabeth put up plenty of runs on Monday, the same can't be said for Strasburg. The Cardinals put the hurt on the Indians with a sharp 14-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Cardinals, who have now won 14 matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Trevor Bertsch made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out ten over seven innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in seven consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 3-for-5 with two RBI and one double.

In other batting news, Cade Taylor and Jeremy Waymire did most of the damage at the plate: Taylor got on base in four of his five plate appearances with four runs, one triple, and one stolen base, while Waymire got on base in three of his five plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. That's the most RBI Waymire has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Joey Dome, who went 3-for-5 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

Elizabeth kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits in three consecutive games.

Elizabeth has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 12 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. As for Strasburg, they have been struggling recently as they've lost 11 of their last 12 matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-15 record this season.

As of now, neither Elizabeth nor Strasburg have any future games scheduled.
