Saturday, July 14, at St. Louis - Reds 8, Cardinals 2: Storms came in waves, leading to lengthy delays after the first inning (52 minutes) and the fifth (1 hour, 51 minutes) and perhaps foreshadowing the ominous ending that would follow. Scott Rovak/Cardinals

Saturday, July 14, at St. Louis - Reds 8, Cardinals 2: Mike Matheny saw the final game of his 6½ seasons as Cardinals manager (591-474, four postseason appearances) take a turn for the worst when Cincinnati rallied for eight runs over the last four innings. Shortly after his postgame press conference, Matheny learned he'd been dismissed in the wake of his club's first-half struggles. Jimmy Simmons/AP

Sunday, July 15, at St. Louis - Cardinals 6, Reds 4: Mike Shildt had carried the Cardinals lineup card to home plate in his previous roles as quality-control coach (2017) and bench coach (2018), but he hadn't given one to the umpires as a manager since 2016 at Memphis, the last of his eight seasons managing in the farm system.

Sunday, July 15, at St. Louis - Cardinals 6, Reds 4: Leading off his second consecutive game with a home run, Matt Carpenter soared within one of Lou Brock's club record for leadoff home runs in a Cardinals career (21) and tied the franchise single-season mark (five) he already shares with Brock and Ray Lankford. Billy Hurst/Cardinals

Sunday, July 15, at St. Louis - Cardinals 6, Reds 4: Dexter Fowler took another step in the right direction offensively when he homered in his first at-bat, a solo shot that handed the home team a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Dan Donovan/Cardinals

Sunday, July 15, at St. Louis - Cardinals 6, Reds 4: Pitching coach Mike Maddux congratulated Mike Shildt for equaling a mark last accomplished 23 years earlier - a win by a Cardinals interim manager in his debut.
