DENVER — He didn’t start the game. He just effectively finished it.
Off the bench, Nolan Gorman launched a ninth-inning pitch into the seats to complete the Cardinals’ rally from another rickety road game to resurgent, late-inning showing against Colorado at Coors Field. Gorman’s solo homer on the first pitch of the ninth inning shattered a tie game and sent the Cardinals toward a 9-6 victory Tuesday night.
They scored the final seven runs of the game.
