8/28/24 | Cardinals Reach Lowest Point Of Season After Making History In Humiliating Way. The St. Louis Cardinals are drowning in the race to make the playoffs and with such little time left to gain ground in the standings, fans are starting to lose hope. Since Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak was hired for his current role in 2017, fans' attendance has significantly dropped. Over the last two losing seasons, attendance at Busch Stadium III has rapidly declined and the latest reporting shows that Cardinals fans' frustration with their team has reached an all-time high. "Cardinals relief pitcher John King allowed two runs that flipped the game in the Padres favor, and just recalled reliever Riley O'Brien gave up a late insurance run in a 7-5 loss in front of an announced crowd of 27,224 at Busch Stadium, lowest announced attendance in ballpark history (not including pandemic-restricted crowds)," St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Derrick Goold reported Wednesday.

5/04/22 | Garver, Heim homer, lead Rangers past Phillies 6-4. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — John King got the Texas Rangers into a jam in the seventh inning when he put Philadelphia Phillies on second and third with no outs and the meat of the order coming up. The lefty reliever simply buckled down: Pop up, punch out, punch out. Threat over. “It was cool to watch,” Rangers manager Chris Woodward said.

The lefty reliever then struck out Bryce Harper looking to end the threat and help the Rangers win their third straight game. “I just think internally that the guys have kind of come together and really embrace the challenge," Woodward said. “Everybody in that room has belief. Guys are starting to find their roles and you can see the bullpen really starting to throw the ball well. Guys are starting to get comfortable out there and embracing the expectations.” Brock Burke (3-0) tossed 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief for the win.
