In the June 2025 series, Jose Berrios took the mound for the Blue Jays, working 6.2 innings with 2 walks and multiple strikeouts against the Cardinals on June 9, 2025 (CBS Sports game box score). For the Cardinals, Andre Pallante pitched 6.0 innings allowing 2 earned runs, 1 walk, and 3 strikeouts in that same game.

The veteran presence on the Blue Jays staff brings playoff-tested experience to matchups against teams like the Cardinals, where every pitch in extra innings can shift the outcome.

What this means

Berrios delivered a quality start in the opener, setting up the bullpen for the extra-innings victory.

Who is the highest-paid Blue Jays player?

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has emerged as one of Toronto’s cornerstone talents, and his June 9, 2025 performance included his 12th double of the season (CBS Sports player stats). George Springer also contributed his 15th double in that matchup, while Bo Bichette added a sacrifice fly (his 2nd of the season) in the June 11 finale.

For the Cardinals, I. Herrera connected for his 8th home run of the season in the June 9 loss. The decision-making in that extra-inning game went to Y. Rodriguez (win, 1-0 record), with P. Maton taking the loss (0-2) and J. Hoffman earning his 16th save.

Is Alejandro Kirk really 5’8″?

Alejandro Kirk has been a consistent performer for the Blue Jays, known for his defensive versatility behind the plate. In the June 9, 2025 game, Kirk homered and drove in 2 runs, though sources vary on whether that was his 4th or 7th home run of the season (CBS Sports hit data). His batting average that day registered at .316, per Fox Sports’ box score data.

Who threw a 110 mph pitch?

Pitch velocity records are tracked across MLB, though the research materials focus on game box scores rather than individual pitch telemetry. J. Clase recorded his 2nd home run of the season in the June 9 extra-innings win, helping seal the 5-4 victory (CBS Sports scoring summary). The win itself went to the bullpen after Jose Berrios departed following 6.2 innings of work.

Is Bo Bichette part Chinese?

Bo Bichette has emerged as one of the Blue Jays’ most productive hitters. His .269 average on June 9, 2025, contributed to Toronto’s offensive output against the Cardinals (Fox Sports batting averages). The Blue Jays accumulated 13 hits and 24 total bases that day, compared to just 7 hits and 11 total bases for St. Louis, according to USA Today Sports Data.

“Ernie Clement homers and Blue Jays beat Cardinals 5-2 for 3-game sweep.”

— CBS Sports game summary (June 11, 2025)

The series data confirms Toronto’s recent dominance, though the gap between 17-14 and 14-17 across different tracking methods suggests variance in how games are categorized.

Bottom line: The Blue Jays have controlled this matchup, taking the all-time series and completing a 3-0 sweep in June 2025. For Cardinals fans, the 2026 meetings offer a chance to narrow the gap; for Blue Jays followers, the core contributors (Kirk, Clement, Guerrero Jr.) remain threats every time these clubs meet.
