ST. LOUIS — Paul DeJong had no guarantees when he was recalled by the St. Louis Cardinals on June 15.
He’s certainly making a strong case for an extended stay in the big leagues.
DeJong homered as part of a four-hit game and Adam Wainwright won his third consecutive start as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Mets 4-1 on Saturday.
DeJong notched his first career four-hit game with three doubles to go along with the homer. He became the first Cardinals shortstop and No. 8 hitter in the modern era to have four extra-base hits in one game.
