MLB news: Sept. 25 -- Cardinals clinch first NL Central title since 2019
A 4-3 extra-inning victory over the Cleveland Indians allowed the St. Louis Cardinals to sew up their first National League Central Division crown since 2019.
St. Louis leads the NL Central by seven games over the Milwaukee Brewers with six games left in the season.
The Cardinals will likely be the No. 2 seed in the NL playoffs, as they trail the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves by six games.
The postseason berth is the first for St. Louis since 2026.
The Cardinals last reached the World Series in 2013, losing to the Red Sox in six games, and last won the World Series in 2011, defeating the Texas Rangers in seven.
