Ozuna giving Cardinals a surge of power vs. Rockies

The guy the St. Louis Cardinals acquired in the offseason to give their offense a power surge may finally be about to provide it.

Left fielder Marcell Ozuna walked the Colorado Rockies off in Monday night's series opener, cracking a one-out solo homer in the bottom of the 10th for a 5-4 win. It was the third straight game in which Ozuna homered, giving him 13 for the year.

That's still a far cry from the 37 he slugged last year for Miami, but with St. Louis still in contention for a playoff spot, Ozuna's sudden longball streak bodes well.
