It was a tumultuous weekend in the Cardinals farm system, capped by the promotion of Randal Grichuk, Luke Voit and Mike Mayers from AAA-Memphis to St. Louis.
Playing for short-season single-A affiliate State College, catcher Joshua Lopez took no notice. Lopez hit two home runs in the two games he started this weekend.
In State College's 13-run outburst Friday, Lopez went four-for-five with a homer, two RBIs an two runs scored. He didn't play in the team's loss Saturday, but returned to the lineup Sunday and hit another bomb. On the day, he went two-for-five with three RBIs and scored two runs.
