Even in an 11-1 thumping, the hitting beat goes on for St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Brendan Donovan. He picked up a hit in Friday’s loss, giving him hits in five straight games as he sits seventh in the majors with a .333 average. He’s picked up at least two total bases in three of his last four.

The Cardinals are second in the majors in BA (.262) while ranking eighth in runs per game (4.74). The Rangers are just 26th in slugging (.360) but their xSLG of .421 suggests we'll see positive regression. The Cards are starting Sonny Gray who has pitched to a 4.06 ERA through 11 starts. His ERA sits at a whopping 7.36 in the first inning. Texas responds with Patrick Corbin who has been one of the worst full-time starters in the majors over the last few years and has an xERA of 4.45 this season.
