ST. LOUIS (AP) — Nolan Gorman snapped an 0-for-19 slump with a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning that gave the St. Louis Cardinals a 5-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was the fourth home run this season for Gorman, who entered as a defensive replacement in the eighth. Paul Goldschmidt, who homered earlier, reached on an infield single before Gorman hit left-hander Kyle Nelson’s only pitch into the right-field seats. Ryan Helsley worked a scoreless inning and the Cardinals overcame a 3-0 deficit to halt a four-game losing streak. Ryan Thompson took the loss. Eugenio Suárez sparked Arizona with three hits and two RBIs.
