ST. LOUIS --- There's a reason Alex Gordon has five Gold Gloves.
And Gordon showed off his defensive skills again Wednesday against the Cardinals in the seventh inning. With one out, Francisco Pena, who already had doubled into the left-field corner to plate a run in the second, smashed a Kevin McCarthy sinker again toward the same corner.
But Gordon raced to his right and with a full-length dive made a stunning catch of a drive that, according to Statcast™, had a 108 mph exit velocity and a 74 percent hit probability.
