McGreevy and Max Meyer dueled through six and seven scoreless innings, respectively, and while Meyer 'ripped sweepers,' McGreevy tripped hitters.
Meyer's seven scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory vaults the right-hander to a 9-0 record and leaves the Cardinals with their sixth loss in their past eight games.
