Jac adds spice to I-70 series
Hello everyone, I'm Dan Lucy on the Ozarks First digital desk. The I-70 series resumes Tuesday night at Busch Stadium. In our Cardinals Nation update. The Kansas City Royals will visit St. Louis in a renewal of their annual interleague series. The Cardinals took two of three from the Royals last month at Kauffman Stadium. Both teams lost their last games coming into the series. Of course, the I-70 series got its name from the 1985 World Championship series that Kansas City won four games to three. But in the all time total, the Cardinals own a 78-to-53 advantage. And one other note, Royal rookie Jac Caglianone will make his big league debut tonight reportedly playing the designated hitter for Kansas City.

Meet me in St. Louis; KC's Caglianone called up to bigs
SPRINGFIELD, Mo–The I-70 series will resume Tuesday night in St. Louis. The Cardinals hosting the Kansas City Royals. St. Louis took two of three from the Royals back in mid-May. In our Cardinals Nation report. The big news will be Royals rookie sensation Jac Caglianone. Kansas City called up the Florida Gator product after just 79 minor league games. Caglianone started the season at Double AA Northwest Arkansas, and spent just 12 games at Triple AAA Omaha. Caglianone hit .322 with 15 homers in just 38 minor league games. I caught up with the 22-year old last month and asked him about his timetable to move to the majors. And how he compares with Bobby Witt Junior. 'Everybody wants to move up quick. I mean nobody wants to be in the minor leagues for too long. But I just take it day by day. I don't really put any time stamps on anything. I think God's going to intend for it to be the way it's going to be. And I'm good with that. It's hard to compare paths when it comes to somebody like Bobby. He's kind of a generational guy. I'm glad he moved up as fast as he did. I thought he should have just started there to be honest with you. But no, just take it day by day,' said Caglianone. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

The halfway point of the season is in three weeks. And if the Cardinals can stay in first place through June 22nd, they'll earn a playoff ticket as the first half champions.
