Rookies rose to the rescue. With a leg kick he’s modified for the majors, Nolan Gorman catapulted two home runs, including a tiebreaking bolt that traveled 428 feet, and he tied career highs with four hits and four RBIs to lift the Cardinals to a 6-2 victory against Milwaukee at American Family Field. Flaunting the curveball he’s learning can deft big-league hitters, Zack Thompson steadied the game with 1 2/3 scoreless innings to earn his first major-league win. The adjustments they’ve made to improve in prominent spots have come at the same time the Cardinals are becoming more and more reliant on young players growing on the go. “That would be key to the whole year, in my opinion,” said manager Oliver Marmol, a rookie in his role, too. “I think you just nailed it. Their ability to not rely on their talent but develop it is going to be the key for our success.” When the Cardinals exited spring training, they did so as they entered it – with incumbents at every position, a rotation with no room for rookies. Even with an expanded, 28-man roster on opening day the Cardinals had one player, Andre Pallante, who had yet to appear in the majors. Fast forward 2 ½ months, and three of the top five hitters in Tuesday’s lineup were rookies. The first pitcher into the game to relieve struggling Jack Flaherty was a rookie. Four of the six runs scored and five of the six RBIs collected, yep, by rookies. [/QUOTE]
