JUPITER Fla. — With intersquad action happening on the Roger Dean Stadium back fields and Cardinals Grapefruit League action vs. the Washington Nationals going inside main stadium, some of St. Louis’s farmhands had their share of facing major-league talent on Friday.
Here are some of Friday’s notable performances from the Cardinals' minor-league players:
Righthanded pitcher Andre Pallante: The University of California-Irvine product struck out two — including Nationals designated hitter Nelson Cruz — in his scoreless inning of work on Friday. Pallante’s scoreless frame was his second scoreless outing of spring training. The former fourth-round pick from the 2019 MLB draft previously notched a save after throwing a scoreless inning on March 22 against the Marlins.
