Being Unpredictable Allowed Cardinals Hurler Andre Pallante To Snap Lengthy Losing Skid
Featuring a pitch mix he's never used before and a new changeup, Andre Pallante ended a 10-start skid and silenced the Mets in a 3-0 win on Tuesday.
ST. LOUIS – One of Andre Pallante’s top goals going into his first start of the 2026 season on Tuesday night was to be less predictable with his pitches. Without question, no one could have predicted what Pallante would do the star-studded Mets lineup after the way he finished a nightmarish 2025 season.
Pallante limited the Mets to just three hits over five-plus scoreless innings and snapped a 10-start winless streak in the Cardinals’ 3-0 defeat of New York at Busch Stadium on Tuesday night. “(Being unpredictable) is the whole point of what I’m doing,” Pallante said. “You look at (teammate Michael) McGreevy and he does a phenomenal job of being unpredictable.
My goal was, ‘How can I get closer to (being less predictable)? ’ I threw some two-seamers to lefties, more curveballs to righties and that plays a role, especially when I was 90 percent four-seamers to rights for most of my career. So, the development of other pitches plays a role in being less predictable.
