My first St. Louis Cardinals game in 2017 was boring and uneventful. The game followed a similar script to the whole season – five hits for the Redbirds, two by recently called-up Paul DeJong, three no doubt home runs by the Dodgers and an appearance from Jonathan Broxton. It couldn’t be a Cardinals loss without a Broxton appearance, right?
To cap it off, Dodgers rookie phenom Cody Bellinger hosed DeJong at the plate who was trying to score after a Corey Seager error.
