After starting off the 2017 season with a 3-9 record, the Cardinals have returned to .500.
A walkoff grand slam capped off the matinee, and a 6-4 win in Thursday's night game boosted the Cardinals to a doubleheader sweep and series win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Now winners of 8 in their last 10 games, the Cardinals enter their weekend series with the Cincinnati Reds at 11-11.
Unlike the afternoon contest, when they struggled against Blue Jays starter Mat Latos, the Cardinals jumped all over the nightcap's starting pitcher, righthander Casey Lawrence. After scoring three in the first, the Cardinals tacked on a run in the second, third and fourth innings each to go up 6-0.
