## Resource

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals 6-5 win over the Cubs from Friday night at Busch Stadium, discussing the arrival of Nelson Velazquez changing the look of a dormant lineup. Plus, key swings by Thomas Saggese, Ivan Herrera and Jose Fermin to help power a rivalry win. Also, Jimmy Crooks is here -- and he's going to play. How does that differ, or does it differ, from the Cardinals' previously described strategies? I explain.
