Western Pa. native A.Q. Shipley named new radio analyst with Arizona Cardinals
Western Pennsylvania native A.Q. Shipley has been named a new radio analyst with the Arizona Cardinals. Shipley spent four of his eight NFL seasons playing for the Cardinals and now he'll be joining the organization as part of the broadcast team, replacing Ron Wolfley as the team's color analyst. Following his NFL playing career, Shipley has done some podcast work and has been making appearances on the Pat McAfee Show. "I love being able to talk football," Shipley said. "It's basically doing exactly what I like to do in terms of a coaching aspect except now it's in front of people from the media angle." Prior to playing in the NFL, Shipley was a multi-sport star at Moon Area High School and then played at Penn State University. Shipley was selected by his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2009 NFL Draft and bounced around a few practice squads until finally making the Indianapolis Colts' roster in 2021. Shipley moved back and forth between the Colts and the Baltimore Ravens for a few years before cementing his career in Arizona, where he served as the team's starting center for four straight seasons. After his playing career, Shipley said he thought he would be involved in coaching, but decided it wasn't a fit with a growing family.

Andre Pallante allows 1 hit in 7 innings as Cardinals beat Marlins 7-1
ST. LOUIS — Andre Pallante allowed one hit in seven scoreless innings and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Miami Marlins 7-1 on Monday night. Pallante (6-7) retired the first 10 batters before walking Jesús Sánchez in the fourth. Graham Pauley singled in the sixth for the Marlins' lone hit against the St. Louis right-hander. Pallante struck out four, walked one and threw 49 of his 81 pitches for strikes. Alec Burleson hit his 14th homer this season and second in as many games for the Cardinals, a 411-foot drive to center in the third inning off a 97 mph fastball from Edward Cabrera (4-5) Cabrera allowed a pair of runs (one earned) on three hits in six innings. He struck out four and walked three. Steven Matz allowed one hit in a scoreless eighth and Matt Svanson allowed a walk and a pair of hits, including an RBI single by Agustín Ramírez, in the ninth. Miami dropped its second straight game after having a four-game winning streak end on Sunday. Yohel Pozo made it 2-0 in the fourth when he doubled, took third on a wild pitch and scored when Ramírez's throw sailed past third baseman Pauley. The Cardinals broke it open with a five-run seventh. Burleson drove in a run by reaching on a bases-loaded catcher's interference, Masyn Winn followed with a three-run double and Jordan Walker drove in Winn with a double. Pauley lined Pallante's 94 mph fastball into right field leading off the sixth to end the no-hit bid. Pallante had gone 0-3 with a 9.76 ERA in his previous three starts, giving up eight or more hits each time. The Marlins will start RHP Sandy Alcantara (5-9, 6.66 ERA) against Cardinals RHP Sonny Gray (10-4, 4.33) as the series continues on Tuesday. ___ AP MLB:
