Chourio swipes another base on Sunday
Jackson Chourio went 0-for-3 with a stolen base against the White Sox on Sunday. The stolen base was Chourio’s 17th of the season. He hit .243 in the first half of the season, but has picked up his average by hitting .350 in the second half. Chourio is hitting .270 with 15 home runs and 17 steals on the season and this is just the tip of the iceberg for the 20-year-old rookie.
Pham lifted for pinch-hitter
Tommy Pham was lifted for a pinch-hitter after going 0-for-2 against the Dodgers on Sunday. Pham faced Clayton Kershaw twice and then was sent to the bench once a righty came in. Pham has actually hit righties quite a bit better than lefties since joining the Cardinals, but it’s a tiny sample and he’s still performed better versus southpaws overall this season. There’s a case for giving him more time against righties at Nolan Gorman’s expense, but we wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a good argument.
