The Cardinals weren’t willing to use Phil Maton or Ryan Helsley twice today, but they did so with Granillo, allowing him to pick up his first major league victory and save on the very same day. The 25-year-old Granillo was just called up for the first time a week ago. He threw four pitches for the win, getting one out to conclude the seventh inning. He finished the save by setting down Austin Slater with his first career strikeout. He’s yet to allow a run in five innings since being called up.

Saggese replaces Iván Herrera on the active roster with Herrera hitting the injured list with a hamstring strain. The 23-year-old hit very well with the Cardinals prior to his demotion, and he’s forged a 317 average with an .847 OPS for Memphis since being sent down. Saggese can hit, the question is if he’ll get enough playing time for that to matter from a fantasy perspective.

It’s not known when Herrera picked up the strain, but it’ll keep him out of action for at least a week-plus. The 25-year-old will hit the shelf for the rest of June, and Thomas Sagesse is up to replace the backstop on the roster; albeit in a much different role.

Arenado singled in the automatic runner in the 10th, but he was retired while trying to take second base on the throw. The Cardinals still wound up getting an insurance run anyway, as Lars Nootbaar homered. Arenado’s homer, his ninth of the year, was a 385-footer to left-center that would have left 12 ballparks. No. 350 puts him into a tie with Chili Davis for 102nd on the all-time list. Next up are Dick Allen at 351 and Ryan Braun, Ellis Burks and Freddie Freeman at 352.
