For the first time this season, the Cardinals’ lineup was complete.
With various injuries forcing everyday starters, such as Yadier Molina, Tyler O’Neill and Harrison Bader, to miss extended periods of time, Saturday’s 9-8 win over the Rockies on Saturday at Busch Stadium was the first time St. Louis’ envisioned lineup was fully intact. Molina was activated from the IL on Saturday morning, following Bader’s season debut the weekend before.
With those two players back in the fold, the Cardinals were able to trot out arguably their best lineup: O’Neill, Bader and Dylan Carlson roaming the outfield; Paul Goldschmidt, Tommy Edman, Paul DeJong and Nolan Arenado across the infield; and Molina behind the plate.
It’s really no wonder, then, that St. Louis’ lineup had one of its best all-around games of the season.

The ebbs and flows of a long season have been on full display already, as Milwaukee had a hot stretch of pitching and looked like a runaway while the Cardinals toiled in mediocrity with sluggish pitching and a lineup sans thump.
Now, the Birds are playing well, have their lineup back intact, and look like the team to beat.
No doubt the pendulum will swing again as we go along this year and it'll feel worse than it is, while the team probably isn't as good as they've been the past two weeks.
Baseball always brings you back either hoping for more or hopeful that things will turn around soon.

Close play with Edman at first; probably out. 1 out hit from Carlson.

Wild pick off Carlson thrown out trying to advance from first to third. Probably could have made it but the track is wet and looked like he slipped going around second; should of held up once he slipped.

Needed that double play. Still no score.
