The St. Louis Cardinals may still be below .500 on the year in terms of their record, but they have recently begun to find their footing, as they had won 12 of their past 15 games heading into their contest against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. One of the biggest storylines surrounding the team was Masyn Winn and his 18-game hitting streak, which ended up forcing manager Oli Marmol into a tough decision in their latest game. Winn had been on a tear for St. Louis during his lengthy hitting streak (.368 BA, 2 HR, 11 RBI, .948 OPS), but Marmol gave him the day off in favor of Brandon Crawford in the series opener against the Phillies.
