Yairo Munoz wasn't even supposed to be in the lineup for Thursday's 10-9 comeback win against the Orioles.
By the seventh inning, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was happy he was.
Starting in right field for late scratch Rangel Ravelo, Munoz hit two home runs in St. Louis' eight-run seventh inning. The first was a solo homer against Andrew Faulker that began an improbable rally, the second a two-run shot against Steven Klimek that tied the game. The Cardinals' No. 12 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, Munoz finished the day 3-for-5 with four RBIs.
