Backed by new arrivals, Cards seek series win over Rangers

The St. Louis Cardinals' struggles against left-handed pitching this season led to the return of a familiar face, one that paid quick dividends. The Cardinals reacquired Tommy Pham from the Chicago White Sox in a three-team trade that also included the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. In a pinch-hit role on Tuesday, Pham launched a grand slam to blow open a close game in an 8-1 rout of the visiting Texas Rangers. "Man, what a cool moment," Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said.
