ST. LOUIS (AP) — Nolan Gorman homered early and added an RBI single during a five-run eighth inning

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Nolan Gorman homered early and added an RBI single during a five-run eighth inning that propelled the St. Louis Cardinals to a 7-2 victory against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday night.

Nolan Arenado, Alec Burleson, Iván Herrera and Gorman hit consecutive singles to start the eighth against Justin Slaten (2-1) as St. Louis immediately reclaimed the lead after the Red Sox pulled even in the top of the inning.

“One through nine, this lineup really has it,” said Cardinals rookie Masyn Winn, who extended his hitting streak to 10 games. “I think we all know, and I think it was only a matter of time before it started clicking.”

Arenado went from first to third on Burleson’s single to right field, then scored the go-ahead run when Herrera followed with a sharp grounder to left through the drawn-in Red Sox infield. Gorman tacked on an RBI single before Winn’s sacrifice fly pushed the lead to 5-2. Two more runs scored when right fielder Rob Refsnyder misplayed Lars Nootbaar’s RBI single for an error.
