SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Jacob Wilson hit two of the Springfield Cardinals’
five home runs in a 9-5 win over the Northwest Arkansas Naturals on Tuesday.
Luke Voit, Bruce Caldwell and Paul DeJong also homered for the Cardinals.
Wilson hit a solo shot in the third inning off Eric Skoglund and then hit a
three-run homer in the sixth off Miguel Almonte.
Springfield right-hander Matt Pearce (1-2) picked up a quality start and the
win after allowing two runs on just four hits over eight innings. Opposing
starter Skoglund (6-10) took the loss in the Texas League game after a rough
outing in which he allowed six runs and seven hits over 5 1/3 innings. Kevin
Herget recorded his eighth save of the season.
Logan Moon homered and singled, driving in two runs for the Naturals.
