CHICAGO — It took a while Tuesday for the Cardinals’ offense to get a start it wanted, but once it did there was no questioning its impact.
Jake Woodford can relate.
A notable contributor during the September surge a year ago, Woodford has been in and out of various roles, shuttled back and forth to Class AAA Memphis, and overlooked many times this season when the Cardinals had an open start for someone to claim. His start, his first of the season, finally arrived Tuesday night in the second half of a doubleheader at Wrigley Field — and he took it as far as the Cardinals would let him.
