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.
