Pete Kozma!!!!!


The Cardinals put Punto on the DL and called up Kozma from the Memphis team. Pete was has been assigned uniform No. 47 and will be available when the Cardinals play host to Houston at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday.

Kozma was the Cardinals' No. 1 draft pick in 2007. This will be his first trip to the major leagues.
Kozma was batting just .220 (31-for-141) with 17 RBIs in 38 games at Memphis. But he had 12 RBIs in 16 games in May, and had a four-RBI game Saturday against Fresno. He followed that with a 4-for-4 performance Sunday.

The 6-foot, 170-pound right-handed hitting Kozma is a native of Owasso, Okla. He joins Colby Rasmus and Tyler Greene as former No. 1 St. Louis draft selections currently on the team's big-league roster.

Kozma did pinch hit tonight and hit a double that drove in a RBI. Good job Kozma!
