Minor league report: Cardinals’ Jordan Walker homers, prospect Cooper Hjerpe spins six no-hit frames

With a two-run homer, a pair of singles, and three total RBIs in five at-bats Tuesday night, Cardinals rookie Jordan Walker delivered his third consecutive multi-hit game while with Class AAA Memphis. This most recent multi-hit performance from the rookie outfielder was his first as a 21-year-old.

Walker, who turned 21 on Monday, belted a 416-foot home run in his first at-bat of the Redbirds’ 13-12 extra-innings loss to Baltimore’s Class AAA affiliate, Norfolk. The home run was his third since returning to the minors at the end of April. He followed that with a single in the fourth inning that registered a 114.
