Major League Baseball notebook: Cards' Ozuna benched for late arrival

St. Louis Cardinals left fielder Marcell Ozuna, who overslept and was a late arrival to Busch Stadium, was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's day game against the Kansas City Royals. "I came to the park and said sorry to my teammates and my coach," Ozuna told reporters following the Cardinals' 5-2 loss in 10 innings. "Everybody makes a mistake. Today it was me." His replacement in left field, rookie Tyler O'Neill, made an error in the sixth inning that helped the Royals score their second run, which tied the game. O'Neill finished 1-for-4 at the plate and scored a run. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny is a stickler for on-time arrivals, so he made the decision to pull Ozuna from the lineup. --The National League-best Milwaukee Brewers will add more reinforcements on Thursday when first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun and right-hander Zach Davies are reinstated from the disabled list.
