Dominant Performance by Imanaga in St. Louis Win
The St. Louis Cardinals ushered in the 2025 season with a win versus the Minnesota Twins at Busch Stadium. The final score was 3-2. Starting Pitcher Shota Imanaga, who finished 2nd in the NL in ERA with 3.01 last year, had a standout performance. David Robertson finished to wrap up his 1st save.

Imanaga gave St. Louis a solid start. The left-hander, who is listed at 5' 10", 175 lbs, allowed no runs on 3 hits over 7.1 innings.

"Shota is tough to beat when he's hitting his spots," said St. Louis manager Jason B.
