BALTIMORE • Whether it’s the shift in the lineup or, more likely, a shift in his swing, former leadoff hitter Dexter Fowler has gone on a jag that result in the most power-packed season of his career.
Fowler homered late in Sunday’s loss for his 13th home run of the season, tying the total he had last season and putting him four shy of his career high with 3½ months to play. He also homered for the fourth consecutive game to become the first Cardinal to do so since Albert Pujols did in 2011.
“He seemed to always hit homers against us,” manager Mike Matheny said.
