Ryan McMahon and Elias Diaz each homered and
had two hits, C.J. Cron also homered, and Kris Bryant had two
hits for the Rockies.
With the game tied at 6-6 after eight, Gorman hit the first
pitch from Pierce Johnson (0-1) to the seats in right for his
third home run of the season.
Paul Goldschmidt and Tyler O'Neill had RBI singles later in the
inning to extend the lead.
Kyle Freeland, who allowed two runs over six innings, needed two
scoreless innings to begin the game to set a Rockies record for
consecutive scoreless innings to start the season. Edman spoiled
that with his first homer of the season with one out in the
first to put the Cardinals ahead 1-0.
Yepez gave the Cardinals a 2-0 lead in the third with another
solo homer, also his first of the season, but Colorado rallied.
Diaz homered in the fourth, his second of the season, to get the
Rockies on the board. The next inning, Colorado's first six
batters of the frame reached base off Cardinals starter Miles
Mikolas.
Jurickson Profar walked, Bryant singled and McMahon homered to
center to put Colorado ahead 4-2. It was his third of the
season.
Cron followed with his fourth homer of the season, Mike
Moustakas doubled to left and Diaz singled to put runners on the
corners. After a groundout, Moustakas scored on a sacrifice fly
to make it 6-2.
Mikolas gave up six runs on 10 hits and two walks with three
strikeouts over five innings.
St. Louis had two runners on when McMahon's two-out error loaded
the bases in the seventh. Goldschmidt walked to drive in one run
and Arenado's three-run double tied it.
