The “real shot” the Cardinals intend to give Edmundo Sosa to win the everyday job at shortstop began Saturday and will continue Sunday with his first starts at the position in weeks, but something happened for the Cardinals on the way to queueing up games for Sosa’s audition.
Rookie Brendan Donovan kept hitting, kept providing what the Cardinals kept lacking.
Donovan doubled home the Cardinals’ first run in their 4-0 victory Saturday, and the left-handed hitting infielder has reached base in nine of his past 13 plate appearances. His performance since his promotion has rewritten several lineups, including shortstop, where he started most of the past week.
