Nolan Gorman's Pinch-Hit Home Run Secures Cardinals' Victory Over Red Sox.
TL;DR
St. Louis Cardinals' Nolan Gorman hit a pinch-hit two-run home run off Boston Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen in the ninth inning to secure an 8-6 victory. Gorman, who leads the team in home runs and RBIs, had been left on the bench due to the Red Sox starting a left-handed pitcher. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol played the matchups and inserted right-handed hitters into his lineup instead of Gorman, but brought him in as a "weapon" off the bench. Gorman's homer showed the potential impact of having him available in key moments.
