Episode Details

Blaze Jordan, the Cardinals’ No. 25 prospect, exploded onto the big league scene with a jaw-dropping three-run homer in his second game—418 feet and the go-ahead hit in a 9-6 win over the Twins. He also added a triple, finishing 2-for-4 with 3 RBIs and 2 runs. His debut the day before was equally strong, giving him a perfect .500 average through two games. Called up after Nolan Gorman was sent down, Jordan now has a real shot at the starting third base role. A righty acquired from Boston last year, he’s been crushing it in Triple-A (.313, 11 HR, 35 RBI in 57 games) after a weaker 2023 (.198, 7 HR). With the Cardinals in playoff position (38-30), Jordan’s power surge could be a key piece in their postseason push.
