The Cardinals conjured a home run celebration during this series in Cincinnati that has proven so catchy, so contagious that even those “enthusiast purists” latch on and join the Conga Line. The player who hit the home run leads the way as Garcia did Saturday. Twice.
The Cardinals’ seasoned backup hit his first career home run off a lefthanded pitcher and then did it again for the first multi-homer game of his career. Those swings staked Miles Mikolas to an early lead, and he followed with seven superb innings to send the Cardinals to a 6-1 victory against the Reds at Great American Ball Park.
