The Cardinals' 2016 home opener will not go down as a pleasant memory for Brewers starter Taylor Jungmann, even if his team finds a way to dig itself out of a 9-0 hole.
Much to the delight of a packed Busch Stadium, the Cardinals totaled eight hits and eight runs off the Brewers' righty. And he only lasted three batters into the third inning.
Ahead 5-0, Yadier Molina doubled on a line drive to left field to score Stephen Piscotty, who also doubled to left to lead off the third. Molina's double, the 123rd double at Busch Stadium III, tied former Cardinal Albert Pujols for most hit in this stadium.
