They’ve promoted, demoted, debuted, and repurposed, and they will again Saturday for a doubleheader at Wrigley Field. They’ve gone to great lengths for short solutions when one way to salve their concern was obvious all along, and it has been since the manager started trumpeting it way back in spring training. The offense could carry them for a bit. In a romp at Wrigley, the Cardinals flexed the versatility and power of their rookie-infused lineup and thoroughly trounced the Cubs, 14-5, on Friday afternoon. They had a comeback, extended their leads, and got a clutch homer from Paul Goldschmidt to extend his hitting streak to 25 games. The Cardinals stole three bases, hit five homers, and the top three spots in the lineup combined for six runs by the end of the sixth inning. Corey Dickerson hit his first home run of the season, and then went five whole innings before hitting his second. They didn’t wait around and rely on the three-run homer, but they got two of those, too. The second one traveled 420 feet into the right-field bleachers and came off the bat of rookie Nolan Gorman in his return to the lineup from back stiffness. [/QUOTE]
