Just in time to take some of the sting out the St. Louis Cardinals’ early postseason exit, the Arizona Fall League kicked off on Tuesday. Cardinals top prospect Alex Reyes made his Fall League debut on Thursday at Salt River fields in Scottsdale and allowed one hit, struck out five and walked two in 3 1/3 scoreless innings. That sounds about right. The Cards’ #7, #8, #12 and #27 prospects are also on the Surprise Saguaros roster.
