MILWAUKEE • With less than three weeks and uncertain playing time to state a case for being on the postseason roster, Cardinals rookie Tommy Pham has flexed on this road trip.
Pham hit two home runs to heft the Cardinals to a 5-4 victory Wednesday night against Milwaukee at Miller Park. Pham home runs – each longer than the last, at 415 feet and 432 feet – joined forces with Matt Carpenter’s solo homer to produce all the runs the Cardinals had and all the runs the Cardinals would need.
They failed to produce an insurance run in the ninth despite loading the bases on former Cardinal Kyle Lohse.
