The St Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 on Sunday, improving to 76-80 on the season. While the playoffs are a far cry, the Redbirds can cross the .500 threshold with a great final week. Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak will retire at the end of the season, ending an 18-year run. He spoke with Bob Nightengale of USA Today about his decision to retire.

The Cardinals have now missed the postseason in three consecutive seasons, prompting the need for a rebuild
