WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. • The high-five line awaited Harrison Bader at the dugout steps. His diving catch of an Anthony Rendon line drive had not just ended the inning, but saved a run.
Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas surrendered back-to-back singles to Brian Goodwin and Trea Turner to start Friday's game at Ballpark of the Palm Beaches.
It was an undesirable situation, considering Bryce Harper stepped into the box with two outs and two on.
But Mikolas got Harper to bite on a breaking ball and ground into a well-turned double play, leaving Goodwin stranded at third base.
