Ozuna’s slam, big 1st lift Cards to W over Cubs

While so much around him had been changing, Marcell Ozuna remained static — both in production and placement. That changed this week, however, when interim manager Mike Shildt decided the time was right for Ozuna to relinquish his hold on the cleanup spot and bat fifth. Ozuna responded to the move with two hits on Friday and another three Saturday afternoon, including a first-inning grand slam that set the Cardinals on cruise control for a 6-2 win over the Cubs at Busch Stadium.
