ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie Luke Voit’s first career homer brought back good memories in St. Louis.
Voit ripped a two-run shot into the batter’s eye in center field on Monday to help the Cardinals to a 14-6 victory over Miami.
The 429-foot blast landed in almost the same spot as the home run hit by Cardinals infielder David Freese in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series.
“I remember watching that,” Voit said. “It’s kind of cool that I did the same thing. Lafayette boys doing it.”
Voit had two hits and drove in four runs in his third start.
