Kolten Wong was the center of attention on Tuesday night.

The Cardinals veteran capped a two-homer night with a go-ahead solo shot in the 10th inning as Triple-A Memphis outlasted Nashville, 7-4, at First Tennessee Park.

Wong tied the game in the fifth inning by sending a three-run homer over the right field wall. His second long ball, also to right, came five innings later and gave the Redbirds their first lead of the game.

Reassigned by St. Louis on Thursday, Wong has not stopped hitting since returning to the Pacific Coast League. The 25-year-old from Hawaii is 10-for-24 (.417) with four homers, 11 RBIs and eight runs scored in six games with the Redbirds.

A second baseman since being selected in the first round of the 2011 Draft, Wong has played the last two games in center field. He made the move pay off Tuesday when he cut down Matt Olson, who was trying to score the go-ahead run on Rangel Ravelo's eighth-inning single.

"I think it's something that the organization saw as a potential to help him and his versatility," Cardinals' manager Mike Matheny told MLB.com. "That's kind of what our club is all about right now, being able to play multiple positions and give yourself a chance to help us in ways you may not see as obvious. … He's got speed, instincts. All those put together really make him able to play almost anywhere."

With the Cardinals struggling to get offensive production from the center field position, Wong has a chance to return to the Majors quickly if he shows he can handle a position he played at the University of Hawaii and get his bat going again.

"I think anytime you make yourself more versatile, you're increasing your odds," Matheny said. "This just adds, I think, for his career. It just adds more opportunity for him."

Dean Anna drove in a run and Cardinals No. 9 prospect Charlie Tilson tripled, singled and scored a run for Memphis.

Chad Pinder, the A's No. 7 prospect, went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and three runs scored for the Sounds.
