Nolan Arenado homered for the Cardinals Tuesday. It seems he does this almost nightly lately and, in fact, he has homered in each of the past four games, all at night.
Edmundo Sosa had two hits Tuesday, one of them a double and drove in a run. He never had done any of these things in the major leagues as a spot player for the Cardinals. Kept on the roster because he was out of options, for one reason, Sosa made only his fourth start in the eighth week of the season.
He opened at shortstop for injured Paul DeJong (rib fracture) and thereâs a good chance heâll replicate that role on Wednesday night. Sosaâs single helped set up a two-run second inning and his double knocked in another in the third inning of a 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates before the largest paid home crowd of the season at 14,005,

The month was September, and the year was 2010. I arrived at Great American Ball Park about an hour before the game was scheduled to begin, and I experienced something I’d never felt before at GABP.

After nine frustrating losing seasons in a row, fans were jazzed.
As the game began, I glanced down to the right field grass, just below my seat in GABP’s moon deck. Jay Bruce, then just 23 years old, jogged out to take his position. It was already his third season in the big leagues, but 2010 was the year he broke out as a star, hitting .281/.353/.493 with 25 homers.
