The Cardinals scored seven runs in the bottom of the sixth during a 12-6 win over the Detroit Tigers in St. Louis. The offensive outburst came one half-inning after the Tigers put up five runs to take a three-run lead. Paul Goldschmidt smashed three home runs and drove in four during the victory, while Brendan Donovan also went deep. Drew VerHagen earned his second win in relief as the Cardinals snapped an eight-game losing streak.
The Cardinals travel to Chicago to play the Cubs.
Willson Contreras, signed by the Cardinals this offseason at six-years, $100 million will make his return to Wrigley Field on Monday night as the Cardinals open a series with the Cubs.
Contreras signed with the Cubs in 2009 as a free agent and played seven years in Chicago as primarily their starting catcher winning a World Series in 2016.
Contreras has recently been relegated to DH duties as the club tries to figure out their catching/pitching issues. The Cardinals are 11-24 and the Cubs are 17-17
