ST. LOUIS • When the Cardinals signed Cuban outfielder Adolis Garcia they described him as a sharp-tooled talent that had the speed to steal, the instincts for center field, the arm for right, and, if given time, his power would eventually show.
Garcia hit three home runs for Class AAA Memphis in a 12-3 rout late Thursday at Salt Lake City. He had a three-run home run, a grand slam in the sixth inning, and completed the hat trick with a solo homer in the eighth for eight RBIs. Garcia finished three-for-four with the three runs scored.
