JUPITER, Fla. • The Cardinals finally found some hits, but they still trail the Astros, 3-1, entering the eighth inning of Saturday's split-squad game at Roger Dean Stadium.
Cards reliever Jonathan Broxton surrendered a two-out RBI single to pinch-hitter Tyler White in the top of the seventh. The Cards responded by stranding two men. Tommy Pham's single was just the second hit of the day.
There are fireworks in Port St. Lucie, but a crowd of 6,843 at Jupiter's Rodger Dean Stadium watched the Cardinals go without a hit until the bottom of the sixth.
