St. Louis Cardinals Fantasy Spin

Marcell Ozuna blasted a three-run home run as the Cardinals fell to the Cubs on Saturday afternoon in Chicago. Ozuna got the scoring started with a bang in the opening inning, crushing a three-run homer off of Cubs' left-hander Jon Lester. It would be his only hit in four at-bats. The 28-year-old slugger is now hitting .250/.323/.526 on the season with 17 homers and 54 RBI.

Chicago Cubs Fantasy Spin

Victor Caratini delivered a pinch-hit go-ahead three-run double in the sixth inning on Saturday, propelling the Cubs to victory over the Cardinals.

He then scored on an RBI double by Kyle Schwarber. On the season, Caratini is sizzling to the tune of .366/.480/.585 with one homer and nine RBI in his first 50 plate appearances.
