Nolan Arenado - Scores three times Arenado went 3-for-4 with a double and three runs scored in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Arenado was the only one of the Cardinals' Nos. 1-5 hitters to hit safely in the contest, but the bottom of the lineup had a productive game. The third baseman extended his hitting streak to 12 games, a span in which he's gone 20-for-49 (.408) with six home runs, 16 RBI and 11 runs scored. For the season, he's slashing .278/.322/.460 with nine long balls, 34 RBI, 26 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases. After a rough start to the year, it's good to see him getting back to his usual level of performance.

Tommy Edman - Collects three hits Sunday Edman went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Edman has gone 4-for-7 across two games since returning from abdominal soreness. He's logged multiple hits in three of his last seven contests, and he has four extra-base hits in that span. The utility man is slashing .287/.340/.483 with six home runs, six stolen bases, 18 RBI, 25 runs scored, eight doubles and a triple through 45 games this season.

Óscar Mercado - Drives in five in win Mercado went 3-for-4 with a double and five RBI in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Mercado was responsible for plating half of the Cardinals' runs, as each of his three hits brought at least one run home. This is his second three-hit effort in five games since he was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday. He's started three of those contests, including once against a right-handed pitcher. It's unclear how the Cardinals plan to deploy their outfielders going forward, but Mercado's hot start to his major-league campaign should continue to earn him looks.

Paul DeJong - Excellent in Sunday's win DeJong went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, four RBI and four runs scored in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Dodgers.
Impact DeJong had an RBI single in the fifth inning and capped off the Cardinals' scoring with a three-run blast in the seventh. The shortstop had gone just 4-for-31 over his previous nine games before a monster effort Sunday. For the season, he's slashing .282/.364/.590 with seven homers, 14 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases across 88 plate appearances.

Drew VerHagen - Snags win Sunday VerHagen (3-0) struck out three without allowing a baserunner over 2.1 innings to earn the win Sunday over the Dodgers.
Impact VerHagen came into the game with the bases loaded and two outs, and he balked in an inherited runner. From there, he was perfect, recording seven outs on a tidy 26 pitches. The right-hander has been solid as a long-relief option for the Cardinals this season, posting a 3.60 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB over 25 innings. He's also picked up five holds. VerHagen has allowed four runs in 12.2 innings in May.
