Springfield tops Amarillo, wins third straight
And it's been a wild start for the baby birds who sit in a first place tie in the Texas League North with a 4-1 record.
The Cardinals scored 16 runs on Tuesday, and ten runs Wednesday night to beat the Sod Poodles.
Top St. Louis farmhand J.J. Wetherholt picked up his first double a hits and RBI's Wednesday night.
And Thursday night it was Noah Mendlinger who gets things started, a single up the middle that scores both Chase Davis and Jeremy Rivas it's 2-0 Springfield.
The Cards get more in the third, Jacob Buchberger takes this deep to left center, a two run homer, his first of the new season and it's 4-0 Springfield.
The baby birds get more in the fifth, Dakota Harris singles to center and Leonardo Nernal scores it's 5-0.
Springfield tried to get more, Buchberger grounds to third, the Soddies come home and get Harris at the plate, still 5-0.
But Ramon Mendoza picks him up, with this single to left, Mendlinger scores to make it 6-0.
And Springfield wins its third straight game 8-4.

NFL roster moves: Arizona Cardinals land OL Roy Mbaeteka off waivers
Roy Mbaeteka is added to the Cardinals' roster with an international exemption. The Arizona Cardinals have filled the vacancy left on their roster left when rookie offensive lineman Valentin Senn was placed on injured reserve with a neck injury. The Cardinals had a full 90-man roster, but because Senn, who is from Austria, was on the roster with an international exemption to be player No. 91, they could not immediately fill his spot. That happened Tuesday when they announced they were awarded offensive lineman Roy Mbaeteka, recently released by the Cleveland Browns. He was added to the roster with an international exemption to be player No. 91 on the roster. Mbaeteka is a mammoth of a man at 6-foot-8 and 330 pounds. Arizona Cardinals land international OL He was originally signed by the New York Giants in 2022 as part of the NFL's International Player Pathway Program and was on the Chicago Bears' practice squad in 2023 and the Browns' practice squad last season. A native of Benin City, Nigeria, Mbaeteka never played organized football prior to participating at a camp in his home country in 2021. Assuming he will not make the 53-man roster when roster cutdowns happen later this month, if he clears waivers, the Cardinals can re-sign him to their practice squad with an exemption so they can have 17 players instead of 16. He likely won't get enough work this week to play in the Cardinals' second preseason game on the road against the Denver Broncos on Saturday, but perhaps he will see action in the preseason finale on Aug. 23 against the Las Vegas Raiders at State Farm Stadium.

Cardinals injury update: OL Christian Jones to 'miss a little time' with knee injury
OL Christian Jones has a knee injury likely to keep him out multiple weeks with final roster cutdowns coming soon. Second-year Arizona Cardinals tackle Christian Jones is going to miss some time. He suffered a knee injury in the team's 20-17 preseason-opening victory on Saturday after playing snaps. Head coach Jonathan Gannon wouldn't go into specifics, but said that Jones would "miss a little time" with the knee. How long will that be? If we go by the last two years of Gannon saying "a little time," he probably will miss multiple weeks, meaning he won't likely be able to play for the rest of the preseason. What does that mean for a potential spot on the roster? That depends. Last year, he injured his ankle in the preseason finale and started the year on injured reserve. He was there for seven weeks before being activated and then was inactive for the next eight games. He played in two games and started the season finale. With roster cutdowns coming in two weeks, what the Cardinals decide to do with him could impact how they assemble the 53-man roster.
