Though the St. Louis Cardinals remain in last place in the NL Central and still own the worst record in the National League, Friday night’s comeback win could potentially serve as a springboard towards momentum.
St. Louis rallied from two late deficits to stun the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
It was Nolan Gorman’s pinch hit home run off of Kenley Jansen that proved to be the difference in the game.
St. Louis won by a final of 8-6.
After the game, the Cardinals posted a video of Gorman receiving high-fives from his teammates and asked fans how they were feeling after such a dramatic comeback win.
