Lineup on positive side of scraping together runs on Saturday

It was appropriate to see the Cardinals honor Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado with the pre-game presentation of the Silver Slugger Awards.

In the third inning Saturday, Arenado got the Cardinals on the board thanks to a throwing error from Matt Chapman, allowing Brendan Donovan to score. Nolan Gorman knocked a single to left field, allowing Goldschmidt and Arenado to score.

Jordan Walker capped off the victory with a single on a sharp drive to second base. The hit allowed Arenado to score.
