Tyler O’Neill lifts the Cardinals

O’Neill lifted the Cardinals to victory in the night game on Thursday. He seemed to spark some of the excellent play fans hoped he would begin the season with after an impressive 2021 season. It was great to see Thursday, though.

In only his sixth home run of the season, and his first at Busch Stadium since opening day, O’Neill knocked a home of a fly to left center field, scoring Tommy Edman and Nolan Gorman. Gorman entered the game in place of Albert Pujols and drew a walk.

The home run traveled 390 feet at 102.5 mph. It was so good to see O’Neill hit a home run with that beautiful swing.
