Cardinals' Nolan Gorman hits walk-off home run vs. Diamondbacks

The first pitch from Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Kyle Nelson to St. Louis Cardinals pinch hitter Nolan Gorman was blasted 425 feet for a walk-off home run at Busch Stadium on Monday evening to open their three-game series. The Cardinals (10-13) trailed from the top of the second inning until the bottom of the seventh but snatched a 5-3 victory on a hanging slider. Arizona (11-13) starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt did not allow a base runner until the fifth frame, and the D-backs led 3-0 going into the sixth, yet this was another game that simply slipped away with a combination of failures to build upon the lead and execution out of the bullpen.
