As you may or may not know it was a very cold winter and cool wet spring in Saint Louis. Perhaps that's why the Cardinals have been hitting so poorly thus far this year as compared to last year.
But, this weekend the Birds swept the Washington Nationals at Busch Stadium III and showed a little pop in their bats. Cardinal First Baseman Matt Adams homered in each of the game and gives St. Louis a legitimate power hitter now that he is off of the DL.
Hopefully, the warm weather has warmed up the bats and the Cards are on their way. As I write this they trail the Milwaukee Brewers by 3.5 games in the National League Central Division and are only three out on the lost side.
Now that the Cardinals are hitting let's hope the pitching continues to be just as strong as the last few weeks. Oh did I say that includes four shutouts of the opponent in the past eight days and a strong start this afternoon by number five starter Jaime Garcia.
