A 93-mph changeup?

Did George Soriano's 93 mph change-up launch him into late-inning mix? Cardinals Extra

Acquired from Washington this past spring in a curious deal, the right-handed reliever has a new pitch, a "gyro" slider, that is enhancing his other pitches — and his role.

JJ Wetherholt has reached base in each of his first 11 major-league starts.

That is the longest by a left-handed-batting rookie #stlcards player since Johnny "J-Rod" Rodriguez (a/k/a "Johnny Load") in 2005. He reached base in 17 consecutive starts as a rookie.

Jordan Walker crushes to center his:

-- third home run of this series.
-- fourth home run of this road trip.
-- fifth home run of this season.

He will be returning to St. Louis as the #stlcards cleanup hitter.

Washington goes to the bullpen here in the fourth inning. Miles Mikolas is done after three innings against his former team.

He allowed two runs on five hits. #stlcards #nationals

Following last night's win, I spoke to Thomas Saggese. He said he couldn't stop thinking about his slump.

He described how his faith help, but didn't want pray for hits. He said #stlcards spring emphasis gave direction.

He took it 'extremely seriously.'

Cardinals see comebacks as their calling card, shedding slumps and saying: 'What's next?'

Manager and players believe team's "zero dwelling" attitude has already paid off. After his key hit, Thomas Saggese said it was an approach he's taking "extremely seriously."

“There’s zero dwelling in what just happened, whether it’s yesterday or the last play. It’s just this constant, ‘What’s next?’ And I think you see it in our overall style of play. No one is slowing down to think about being down.”

Jordan Walker smacked his 4th homer of the season last night.

Sure does look like the breakout is finally happening.
