Getting home after a choppy road trip was good for Tommy Edman for a few reasons.
First, the Cardinals got a day off, which Edman welcomed as a player who has been in the lineup every day this season.
It also meant returning to Busch Stadium to work out some kinks that might have led to a sluggish stretch, which saw him go 4-for-28 in the previous six games.
“Part of it is just being able to get to the park a little earlier to take those extra swings and kind of work some things out with the swing,” Edman said after Wednesday’s 8-5 win over Pittsburgh.
