ST. LOUIS — One day after insisting he wasn’t ready to move on from this season just yet, Nolan Arenado drove the Cardinals to a place they’ve rarely been at all this year.
Arenado, who said Monday late night that he hasn’t “got time for thinking about next year” when he’s trying still to win this year, hammered a 0-1 fastball into the left-field seats to lift the Cardinals to a 5-2 walk-off victory in the 10th inning Tuesday night against Miami. Arenado’s fourth career walk-off homer was the Cardinals’ first since Tommy Edman’s in June of 2022. And it gave the Cardinals their fourth consecutive win, tying their season high.
While the last-place team drifts toward the trade deadline with eyes on moving players, the players have won seven of their last nine games, eking every so slowing out of the NL Central pit.
