Twin drilling: Cardinals' offense jolted awake

A day that began with the offense unable to crack Mat Latos in his six-inning start concluded with almost every position player contributing to a doubleheader sweep of the Blue Jays. Eight runs over the final five innings in Game 1 lifted the Cardinals to an 8-4 win. They followed that offensive burst by scoring six more times in the first four innings of Game 2 en route to a 6-4 victory.

"Today was just one of those great signs of the offense that we think we can have," manager Mike Matheny said.
