Cardinals look to Fowler to fuel offense against Reds

ST. LOUIS -- In his two seasons with the Chicago Cubs, Dexter Fowler heard a familiar refrain from manager Joe Maddon.

"You go," Maddon told him before games, "we go."

The Cubs often went to victory with Fowler spearheading the charge, including a win in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series in Cleveland as Fowler walloped a leadoff homer.

Now the script is being repeated, only five hours or so south of Chicago. Fowler is going and the St. Louis Cardinals' offense is starting to go.

In a 6-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays that polished off a doubleheader sweep Thursday, Fowler reached base four times.
