With a double in the first at-bat of his first start with the Cardinals and four times on base in the game, it was an easy call for Austin Dean to be back in the lineup Sunday against Cincinnati.
With a three-run homer that turned a taut game into a stroll, it was a likely bet that Harrison Bader would get an encore in center field.
That left right.
The Cardinals are turning in a new direction.
Rangel Ravelo, the pinch-hitting first baseman and sometimes designated hitter, will start in the corner opposite Dean as the Cardinals look to win their third series of the season against the Reds.
