Scores twice in win Edman went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs and two RBI in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Royals.

Impact Even after a strong day at the dish Saturday, Edman is still off to a slow start to August, delivering a .190/.277/.333 slash line through his first 11 starts of the month. Though his production has fallen off considerably since his 2019 rookie campaign, Edman looks to have plenty of job security as the Cardinals' everyday second baseman. He'll man the keystone and bat leadoff in Sunday's series finale.

After failing to go yard for 39 games between May 27 and July 9, Edman now has two home runs in his last six contests.
