Nolan Gorman Crushes Three-Run Homer in Win
Nolan Gorman continued a productive June in the team's 8-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. With the Cardinals ahead 4-1 in the top of the fifth inning and two men on, Gorman smashed a 433-foot home run to extend the lead to six. The lefty-swinging Gorman hadn't gone yard against a southpaw this year until he took Quintana deep. He also walked twice and picked up an additional run scored during a 1-for-3 day. While Gorman batted a miserable .189/.283/.300 through May, his line has made a sizable jump thanks to a hot start to June. Gorman has gone 9-for-28 with three homers, eight RBI, five runs scored, and five walks in 10 games this month. As a result, he's hitting a much-improved .220/.317/.398 with four HRs, 17 RBI, 17 runs, and a 12.9% walk rate in 139 plate appearances. At least for now, Gorman is looking more like the slugger who belted 27 homers and knocked in 76 runs two years ago. He'll take on Brewers righty Quinn Priester on Sunday.
