PITTSBURGH — Folks, there’s a new shortstop in town. His name is Sosa. There’s also an old sheriff who’s 40 years old (minus a few hours). You already know his name and badge number.
Making his third consecutive start in place of inconsistent Paul DeJong, rookie Edmundo Sosa, who had a career-high four hits, delivered a two-run triple in the second inning and a three-run triple in the third Saturday night at PNC Park. Cardinals righthander Adam Wainwright, who will be 40 on Monday, normally doesn’t need that much support, especially when he’s faced the Pittsburgh Pirates this year, but he went about his business as if it were a scoreless game.
