Jordan Hicks returned for the St. Louis Cardinals, and promptly threw a clean 1-2-3 inning after being involved in kerfuffle.

Jordan Hicks made his regular season debut on Sunday. Thankfully for both him and the St. Louis Cardinals, it looked nothing like his spring training debut.

It had been almost two years since Hicks was on the mound. He went from throwing 105 mph fastballs with regularity to not being able to throw for months after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2019.
