Cards Sweep Twin-Bill With 6-3 Win Behind O’Neill’s Homer

For Game 2 of the doubleheader, Dexter Fowler, Kolten Wong and Andrew Knizner took a seat. This allowed Dylan Carlson to slide over from LF to RF, Matt Wieters to come in and catch, Max Schrock to make his major league debut at 2B and Brad Miller to make his Cardinal debut at 3B. Rookie Jake Woodford found out he was going to start the game about 30 minutes before first pitch, and he held his own just fine. He hung one pitch that was crushed for a homer, but otherwise he showed especially good breaking pitches, and of the 9 outs he recorded, 3 were strikeouts and 6 were groundouts.
