Kyle Leahy shines again, continues strong run for Cardinals

Summary

Kyle Leahy pitched six innings, allowing two runs on six hits, during a recent start for the St. Louis Cardinals on July 26, 2026. This marked his seventh consecutive start with improved performance, resulting in a 1.69 ERA over 37.1 innings during that stretch. Leahy, a 17th-round pick in 2018, has revitalized his career after a previous ERA of 4.64 earlier in the season. His success as a late-round draft choice positions him among the best in Cardinals history for that round. Leahy's full-season ERA now stands at 3.55 as he continues to establish himself as a reliable option in the pitching rotation.
