This past weekend could’ve gone very badly for the St. Louis Cardinals. With five games in 50 hours, the team could’ve gained some ground as they did but they just as easily could’ve lost ground as they played four games against the Cincinnati Reds between Saturday and Sunday and one game Monday against the Giants.
Harrison Bader‘s stellar defense and walk-off knock and Kolten Wong‘s .500 average or three triples both were big parts of the weekend and played into the two walk-offs the team had but they weren’t the biggest performers.
