Using JJ Wetherholt's 'Little League Grand Slam,' Michael McGreevy Steamrolls Padres
While Cardinalsâ rookie JJ Wetherholt recorded a career first with a âLittle League Grand Slamâ that led to four runs, teammate Michael McGreevy also accomplished the kind of dream-like performance every child ponders on Friday night.
Pitching 60 miles from his San Clemente, Calif., home with several family members and friends in the stands and facing a Padres team he grew up rooting for as a kid, McGreevy was at his absolute best by surrendering just one hit and striking out a career-best nine in six scoreless innings of the Cardinalsâ 6-0 throttling of San Diego at Petco Park.
McGreevy (3-2) extended his scoreless streak to 14 innings â the second-longest active scoreless streak in MLB. Having not allowed a hit in his first start of the season against the Rays, just three hits last week against the Dodgers and only one single on Friday, McGreevy has surrendered just 29 hits in 45 1/3 innings pitched this season.
âHis changeup was working really well for him and heâs mixing really well to both sides,â Oliver Marmol said to Apple TV as McGreevy got seven swings and misses on his nine changeups.
McGreevy induced a career-best 17 swinges and misses on Friday and all nine of his strikeouts were of the swinging variety. The 25-year-old right-hander pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the fourth inning and allowed the fewest hits to the Padres by a Cardinals pitcher since Bud Smith fired a no-hitter in San Diego on Sept. 3, 2001.
McGreevy got all the run support he needed when Wetherholt broke a scoreless tie with a âLittle League Grand Slam.â After singling to right field to score Masyn Winn, Wetherholt looked on in shock as Platinum Glover misplayed the ball and it rolled to the wall.
A 'Little League Grand Slam' refers to a home run hit with the bases loaded, which counts for four runs, often celebrated for its excitement and rarity.
Michael McGreevy pitched six innings, allowing only one hit and striking out a career-high nine batters in the Cardinals' 6-0 win.
Michael McGreevy has a scoreless streak of 14 innings, which is the second-longest active streak in Major League Baseball.

Wetherholt circled the bases and scored standing up. As he cross the plate, he let out a scream of joy along with teammates Victor Scott, Nathan Church, Ivan Herrera and Winn.
âJust run, to be honest,â Wetherholt told Apple TV of what he thought when he saw the ball get past Tatis Jr. âI wasnât really running too hard out of the box and I just wanted to read and see where he threw it. But once it got by him, I just had to turn it on and keep going. Then, I saw (third base coach) Pop (Warner) waving me and I was losing a helmet and an elbow guard, but I was able to get in there and that was pretty sweet.â
It was MLBâs first âLittle League Grand Slamâ since Coloradoâs Michael Toglia did it to the Cardinals on June 7, 2024, per Elias Sports Bureau. Wetherholt was the first Cardinal to record the âLittle League Grand Slamâ since Dal Maxvill did it on July 13, 1967.
â(His Cardinals teammates) were just trying to let me breathe because I needed to, but they were super fired up,â Wetherholt said. âBut that was big for us because we werenât scratching any runs and that kind of opened up the game for us.â
Herrera had four hits as the Cardinals improved to an MLB best 13-5 on the road. The Cards have won their last six games on the road and overall, they have been victorious in nine of their last 11 games. Winning the first two games of the four-game series in San Diego pushed the Cards to a season-best eight games over .500 on the season.
