Paul DeJong hit a two-run homer in the first Thursday night and added a single and scored a run in the fourth inning as the Cardinals beat Miami 7-5.
Lefthander Kwang Hyun Kim, slowed by a stiff back, threw a side session on Wednesday, and, if Kim recovers well, he is on target for an outing facing hitters in a simulated-game-type setting or even batting practice.
Whether that translates to Kim being ready for his turn in April still is uncertain.
