Nolan Gorman’s RBI single in the 10th drove home the winning run as St. Louis beat the Philadelphia Phillies Sunday night, 5-4. The Red Birds had dropped the first two games of the series. Gorman and Alec Burleson each had two-run homers for St. Louis who committed three errors in the game. The Cardinals will be in Houston tonight to face the Astros for a three-game series beginning at 6:15 on KSMO Radio.

Down two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning with runners on first and second, Kansas City’s Nelson Velázquez ripped his first triple of the season to the center-field wall, tying the game with no outs, then scored the winning run on Nick Loftin’s sacrifice fly to right field, and the Royals ended the weekend with a 4-3 walk-off win at Kauffman Stadium. The win snapped the Royal’s losing streak at three. They will have the day off before starting a three-game series against Minnesota Tuesday.
