| Fri Apr 8 2011 | 12:05 | Cards' Robinson goes 5-for-6 in Triple-A | ||||
Shane Robinson went 5-for-6 and drove in three runs Thursday for Triple-A Memphis. | ||||||
Robinson reached the majors in May 2009, spending two weeks with the Cardinals, but he hasn't been back since, not even as a September callup. He might be in line for a return if the Cardinals lose Lance Berkman or another outfielder for an extended time this year, but he'd be looked at strictly as a reserve. | ||||||
