Whether penciled in for a start in the outfield, at designated hitter or occasionally at first base, Alec Burleson sees his opportunities in the Cardinals lineup as a chance to capitalize on each at-bat. “Being in there every day, and especially when you're feeling good, is awesome,” Burleson said on Wednesday following a two-hit effort in a 7-2 Cardinals loss to the Angels at Angel Stadium. A similar sentiment could be said for Michael Siani, who has moved into a starting center field role after beginning the year as mostly a defensive replacement and pinch runner.
Michael Siani doubled home the go-ahead run, Paul Goldschmidt homered to break out of his slump and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied to beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 4-3, on Sunday in Milwaukee to snap a seven-game skid . Goldschmidt had gone 1 of 34 in May until he led off the fifth inning with just his third homer of the season, a drive to center off Bryse Wilson. Goldschmidt also hit a game-tying, two-out RBI single in the sixth against Jared Koenig as the Cardinals erased an early three-run deficit.
When the St. Louis Cardinals visit the Los Angeles Angels next week, the series will hold a special meaning for broadcaster Mark Gubicza that goes beyond the baseball field. After his father died in 1991, Gubicza set up a scholarship to William Penn Charter in his honor of a student from Roxborough, his Philadelphia neighborhood. Michael Siani, an outfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals, is the first recipient of that scholarship to reach the big leagues.
