Dustin May's Impressive Performance with the Cardinals

Dustin May, who previously could not maintain health and consistency, has shown remarkable improvement with the St. Louis Cardinals. Despite his history of short starts with the Los Angeles team, where he often exited games within the first few innings, May’s recent performance tells a different story. In a standout game, he pitched a complete game, one-hit shutout, only allowing a hit to Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado in the seventh inning.

May's ability to strike out the side in both the sixth and eighth innings highlights his impressive command and movement on his pitches, rather than sheer velocity. This performance is particularly notable against the San Diego Padres, a team that has been experiencing some struggles with their lineup. His ability to keep batters on edge throughout the game underscores a season where everything seems to be aligning perfectly for the Cardinals. At only 28 years old, May's recent outing is not just a return to form but arguably one of his best performances in a long time.
