Oscar Taveras Shortens Swing, Results Follow; Shelby Miller Has Sinking Feeling; Extra Bases

Oscar Taveras is hitting .238, not exactly what the Cardinals had in mind when they brought him up for the first time May 31. But this average, achieved by a current six-game hitting streak in which he had two hits Sunday, is Taveras’ highest since his second day in the big leagues, and he is beginng to look like a different hitter.

Shelby Miller had some success Saturday employing the sinkerball grip of newcomer Justin Masterson, pitching six effective innings as he trotted out what could be a new weapon for him.
