Holliday three-hit night powers Orioles rout Cardinals

5 sourcesUpdated Aug 27, 2026

Jackson Holliday delivered three hits from the leadoff spot as Baltimore routed the Cardinals 13-1 in St. Louis, a performance he hopes can fuel a late-season push. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 draft grew up at Busch Stadium watching his father, Matt Holliday, play there, making the ballpark feel like a hometown home for him. Baltimore remains 2.5 games out of the final American League wild-card spot as five teams jostle for the last berth. While Holliday has shown improvement, he has slumped to .188 in August and continues to work to stabilize his production, having been moved to the top of the order to spark better results. Overall, Holliday is batting .236 on the season with six homers and 27 RBIs, in a storyline that includes managerial adjustments aimed at unlocking his potential. A portrait of family and memory framed Holliday’s return to St. Louis, as his father watched from the stands and reflected on the boyhood moments that shaped his career.
