JUPITER, Fla. — The hopes of the Cardinals’ future, perhaps sooner than we think, teamed to put the Cardinals ahead of the Miami Marlins at 6-3 in the seventh inning Wednesday.
Dylan Carlson, the 21-year-old, first-round pick by the Cardinals in 2016, tripled past former Cardinal Magneuris Sierra with one out and scored the go-ahead run in the sixth on 19-year-old Nolan Gorman’s second hit of the game, a double off lefthander Adam Conley.
The lefthanded-batting Gorman, the club’s top selection in the 2018 draft, has had three hits and three runs batted in as a late replacement for third baseman Matt Carpenter, who was scratched with back tightness.
