ST. LOUIS — Best pals and often teammates since one was 5 and the other 4, Nolan Gorman and Matthew Liberatore had plenty of days together on a ballfield or traveling to another ballgame to dream about what they could someday do together in the majors.
They could not have imagined it going as well as a Saturday.
In his Busch Stadium debut, lefty Liberatore pitched five shutout innings for his first major league win and it came complete with a four-hit day from his boyhood friend, Gorman. The Cardinals’ second baseman went 4 for 4 with a home run and four RBIs to lift the Cardinals to an 8-3 victory against division rival Milwaukee.
