ST. LOUIS — Tommy Pham hit a pinch-hit grand slam in his first game back with the Cardinals and St. Louis beat the Texas Rangers 8-1 on Tuesday night.
Pham’s blast off reliever Cody Bradford capped a five-run fifth. It was his first at-bat since being dealt to the Cardinals from the White Sox as part of a three-team trade on Monday. The Cardinals drafted him in the sixth round in 2006, and he began his career with them.
