Wetherholt leads Springfield past Travs 10-3
The Travs are the Double AA affiliate of the Seattle Mariners.
Both the Cardinals and Travelers are tied for first in the north.
And southpaw Ixan Henderson was on the hill, looking to go 2-0 on the season.
He ends the first by striking out Bill Knight swinging.
Henderson pitched five innings, gave up one run and struck out seven.
Then in the third he gets defensive help from J.J. Wetherholt who charges the softly hit ball, and throws to first for the out.
Scoreless in the bottom of the third, a man on for Wetherholt, and the Cardinals top prospect takes this deep to left center, his first Double AA homer, and it's 2-0 Springfield.
One batter later, R.J. Yeager takes this deep to left, it's gone, a solo shot it's 3-0 Cardinals.
The next batter is Dakota Harris, and he goes deep to left, that's back to back jacks, that makes it 4-0.
J.J. Wetherholt was 3 for 4 with 4 RBI in the Cardinals 10-3 victory.

Chiefs DB Chris Roland-Wallace earns game ball for performance vs. Cardinals in preseason
The Kansas City Chiefs fell short in their attempt to secure a victory in their preseason exhibition against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium on Saturday night. While the defending AFC champions were unable to come away with a win, several players stood out as top performers in Kansas City's first game since Super Bowl LIX. However, no Chief was more impactful than second-year defensive back Chris Roland-Wallace, who recorded a fumble recovery on the game's opening kickoff and later intercepted Cardinals quarterback Clayton Tune. Though Roland-Wallace's valiant effort wasn't enough to deliver Kansas City its first preseason victory, his outstanding performance earned him a coveted Chiefs Wire Game Ball. Roland-Wallace joined the Chiefs last season after spending time with the University of Arizona Wildcats and the University of Southern California Trojans as a collegian. He is expected to compete for a significant role in Kansas City's defense during the Chiefs' next two preseason games and seems poised to have an edge over his competition after a spectacular showing against the Cardinals.
