St. Louis followed Friday's 4-2 victory, in which it took a four-run lead in the third inning, with a 7-4 win on Saturday by getting four runs in the opening frame. Paul Goldschmidt highlighted the big inning Saturday with a two-run double and also scored the sixth run for the Cardinals, who have scored 22 times while winning four of five games. Friday's quick start occurred after Alec Burleson hit a three-run homer in the second inning and Willson Contreras homered in the third. "That's huge," said St. Louis starter and Saturday's winner, Sonny Gray.
