Nolan Arenado also went deep, Paul Goldschmidt
had two doubles, Andre Pallante (1-0) pitched around a blown
save and Ryan Helsley earned his third save.
Jurickson Profar homered and Charlie Blackmon had two hits for
Colorado. The Rockies finished their homestand 3-4.
Profar homered on Jack Flaherty's first pitch of the game for a
1-0 lead, but O'Neill tied it with a two-out solo shot to center
in the second. Those were the second homers of the season for
Profar and O'Neill.
Goldschmidt led off the fourth with a walk and Arenado hit Jose
Urena's next pitch into the seats in left to make it 3-1. It was
Arenado's second of the season and the 139th homer he has hit at
Coors Field, which tied him for third all-time there with former
teammate Carlos Gonzalez.
Urena allowed three runs on five hits and fanned six in five
innings.
Flaherty walked Blackmon leading off the bottom of the fourth.
Blackmon went to second on a passed ball, moved to third on Ryan
McMahon's single and scored on C.J. Cron's double play.
Flaherty left in the sixth inning after Blackmon doubled to put
runners on second and third with one out. Flaherty allowed two
runs -- one earned -- on five hits and struck out six in 5 1/3
innings.
St. Louis scored again in the seventh when O'Neill led off with
a single, stole second and scored on Taylor Motter's double.
The Rockies tied it in the bottom of the inning on Elias Diaz's
RBI single and Profar's groundout that drove in Yonathan Daza.
After Willson Contreras reached on a two-out error in the
eighth, Gorman homered to left off reliever Justin Lawrence
(0-1). It was his fourth of the season.
The Cardinals added a run on Goldschmidt's RBI double in the
ninth.
