DeJong went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a 6-2 win Saturday against the Pirates.

DeJong's two-out, two-run home run in the fourth inning gave the Cardinals the lead for good. He walked and struck out twice in his other three plate appearances. After losing the starting shortstop job to Edmundo Sosa last season, the former All-Star was named the starter for 2022 after hitting .435/.536/.826 in 11 spring contests. The 28-year-old has hit sixth in the St. Louis lineup in both games to start the season.
