SEATTLE (AP) — Lars Nootbaar homered on the first pitch of the game, Nolan Gorman added a three-run shot and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Seattle Mariners 7-3 to prevent a three-game sweep. Paul DeJong also went deep in his season debut and Jack Flaherty recovered from early trouble to pitch six solid innings for St. Louis. Jarred Kelenic homered for the second consecutive day and Ty France had a two-run single for Seattle. Gorman’s three-run homer to right-center put the Cardinals up 6-3 in the fourth. He has six home runs and an NL-leading 14 two-out RBIs this season. Nootbaar connected on the first pitch from Mariners starter Chris Flexen. DeJong had three hits during his first game this season after returning from the injured list.
