St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Andre Pallante allowed seven hits and seven earned runs over 4 1/3 innings, but did not factor into Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Kansas City Royals. He struck out two and fired 50-of-71 pitches for strikes. The Royals got on the board early against the former fourth-round pick, with a Bobby Witt Jr. two-run blast coming within Pallante's first five pitches of the game. He'd settle in and retire the next 12 batters he faced, but Kansas City got to him again in the fifth when they scored another six runs -- all but one of which was registered to him. It's an outing to forget for the 26-year-old, who now sports an unappealing 4.91 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across his first 12 starts (66 innings). Pallante is one of the best ground-ball pitchers in the league, but he doesn't miss many bats. That makes him prone to outings like this.
Andre Pallante Picks Up Fourth Win, Throws Seven Effective Innings
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Andre Pallante (4-2) allowed two runs on seven hits with no walks while striking out four across seven innings in Friday's 10-3 win over the Kansas City Royals. He picked up his fourth win of the season. The 26-year-old produced 13 out of his outs through ground balls, which has been the formula for Pallante. His 3.38 groundout-to-airout ratio leads all starting pitchers by a wide margin. Pallante sports a 4.11 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 32 strikeouts across 50 1/3 innings this season. He won't rack up many strikeouts, but he's a solid streaming option and a viable play in deeper leagues. Pallante will look to build on Friday's performance in his next scheduled start on Wednesday against the Tigers.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Andre Pallante allowed five hits and two earned runs over 7 2/3 innings in Saturday's 4-2 win against the Washington Nationals. The 26-year-old walked none and set a new season-high with seven punchouts, earning his third victory in eight starts (3-2). Pallante stymied the Nationals through seven innings, but ran into trouble in the bottom of the eighth when Jose Tena singled and Dylan Crews sent him home two batters later with a 396-foot bomb over the left field wall. It's a nice rebound for him after giving up four runs and allowing four walks (nine hits) in his last time out against the New York Mets. He's already given up four runs thrice, but three or fewer in his other five appearances. Pallante's inconsistencies make him a shaky start more often than not, but he'll have a decent chance to get back in the win column the next time he toes the rubber, a road outing against the Kansas City Royals.
Andre Pallante Turns In Quality Start Despite Defeat
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Andre Pallante turned in a decent outing in Cincinnati, but he didn't get enough run support to avoid taking the loss in his team's 3-1 divisional defeat. Pallante worked six innings and gave up three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four. He allowed a home run in the third, an RBI triple in the fourth, and an RBI double in the sixth, but avoided any big innings. He got a double-play from Spencer Steer with his final pitch of the game to escape a jam. Pallante falls to 2-2 in six starts with the defeat and has a 4.13 ERA, 5.33 FIP, and 20 strikeouts in his 32 2/3 innings on the season. His next start is scheduled for Saturday at home in a tough matchup against the Mets.
Andre Pallante Shuts Out Phillies In Seven Strong Innings
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Andre Pallante allowed just two hits in seven shutout innings on Friday night against the Phillies. He had four strikeouts and two walks to claim his second win of the season. He was locked in a pitcher's duel with Aaron Nola until the Cards broke through for two runs in the fifth inning. He retired the last eight men he faced before handing the ball to the bullpen to close out the Cardinals' big home win over the visiting Phils. Pallante is now 2-0 in his three starts, allowing four runs on 10 hits across 16 1/3 innings with 13 strikeouts. He'll take on the Astros in another tough matchup in his next scheduled start.
Andre Pallante Wins Arbitration Case Against Cardinals
St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Andre Pallante won his salary arbitration hearing against the team on Thursday, according to a source, and will earn $2.1 million this year. The Cardinals filed at $1.925 million when figures where exchanged. The 26-year-old struck out a career-high 94 hitters in just 121 1/3 innings over 29 appearances (20 starts) for the Red Birds in his third year in the big leagues, but thanks to a strong ground-ball rate and the ability to induce weak contact, he posted a decent 3.78 ERA (3.71 FIP) and 1.30 WHIP in 2024. A new sinker that he added going into last year surprisingly made him more effective as a starter for the Cardinals than as a reliever. Pallante should be locked into a starting rotation spot in St. Louis to begin the 2025 season, but he's outside of the top-100 fantasy starting pitchers because of his below-average strikeout rate (18.5%).
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Andre Pallante was terrific on Sunday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball against the Cleveland Guardians en route to a 2-1 win. Pallante allowed just one hit and two walks while recording four punchouts. The 26-year-old has been a little inconsistent on a start-to-start basis, but his overall numbers are solid. He owns a 3.71 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with 90 strikeouts in 116 IP this year. Although he will likely run a high WHIP with his groundball profile, he could also manage to keep runs off the board if he can keep the walks down. He should have a shot at a rotation spot with St. Louis next year and could be a decent deep league option if he can nab it.
St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Andre Pallante turned in an excellent start in Monday's 4-0 win over the Pirates. Pallante pitched seven innings, allowing just four hits and a walk with nine strikeouts. The 25-year-old's strikeout total was the highest of all his outings this season. Pallante has done a solid job for the Cardinals pitching both in the rotation and out of the bullpen and is now 7-8 with a 3.87 ERA, a 1.35 WHIP, and a 7.08 K/9 rate in 27 games (18 starts). He will face a tough matchup against the Guardians in his next start. While he has been useful at times for fantasy managers this season, he should be avoided in his next game so late in the fantasy season.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Andre Pallante had his longest outing of the season in Thursday's victory versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Pallante tossed seven innings of one-run ball and allowed four hits, one walk and struck out five in the contest. Pallante has been pretty solid for the Cardinals and is 4-3 with a 4.00 ERA in 16 games (seven starts). The right-hander has never had overpowering stuff and that limits his strikeouts significantly and due to that, he is best used as a streamer at the moment. Next up for Pallante will be a matchup versus the Kansas City Royals.
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Andre Pallante was fantastic on the mound during Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Pallante allowed three hits and struck out six batters over five scoreless innings in the win. He has been fairly solid through his three starts with six strikeouts in two of those appearances. The assumption is that Pallante will stick in the rotation a little longer until the Cardinals get healthy.
