Marcell Ozuna, the cleanup hitter the Cardinals obtained from Miami, began his Cardinals career by going four for 28 with 13 strikeouts this spring. Since then, he has been 11 for 22 with just one strikeout. He has knocked in six runs in the last two games, including hitting two homers, the second a three-run clout in the first inning off Lucas Sims Thursday.
MIKOLAS, WEAVER BOTH START
The Cardinals will have two members of their rotation starting on Thursday but only one of them will be facing the Atlanta Braves in the regularly scheduled game.
