Summary
Nelson Velázquez made an instant splash in his Cardinals debut, launching a three-run homer on his very first pitch to tie the game and spark a dramatic comeback. After a dominant May in Triple-A, Velázquez delivered the thump the Cardinals desperately needed, especially against lefties. His game-changing blast was just the start — Thomas Saggese and Iván Herrera added their own homers to seal a 6-5 win, snapping a four-game skid. Velázquez’s one-pitch impact proved his manager’s scouting report spot-on, turning momentum and morale around in one swing. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
