Cards complete 3-game sweep of Guardians with 7-0 victory
CLEVELAND (AP) — Nolan Gorman belted a three-run homer, Victor Scott II had a two-run shot and Matthew Liberatore won his career-high third straight start and the St. Louis Cardinals rolled to a 7-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. Gorman went deep in the first inning off Logan Allen (5-6), while Scott homered off Hunter Gaddis in the seventh to extend the Cardinals' lead to 5-0. Pedro Pagés and Garrett Hampson added RBIs in the eighth. Advertisement St. Louis has won six straight on the road, its longest run under fourth-year manager Oliver Marmol. The Cardinals completed their initial series sweep of Cleveland by a 21-6 margin in the three-game set. Liberatore (6-6) tossed six innings, striking out five while allowing three hits and five walks. JoJo Romero, Riley O'Brien and John King wrapped up the combined three-hitter that included eight bases on balls. Allen gave up three runs in six innings for Cleveland, which went 1-5 on its homestand and fell two games below .500 for the first time since April 8. Guardians shortstop Gabriel Arias was taken off the field on a cart after sustaining a left ankle sprain in the third, but X-rays of his lower leg were negative. He caught his left spikes on the grass while going into the hole to field a grounder by Masyn Winn. Advertisement Key moment With two outs in the first and Winn and Willson Contreras aboard, Gorman hammered Allen's sweeper 428 feet into the right-center field stands. Key stat Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado singled in the third for his 1,900th hit and had his 400th double in the sixth. He was removed for 'cautionary reasons' in the eighth, according to the team. Up next Cardinals: RHP Erick Fedde (3-7, 4.11 ERA) starts the opener of a three-game series Monday in Pittsburgh. Guardians: RHP Gavin Williams (5-3, 3.68 ERA) pitches Tuesday to begin a three-game set at the Chicago Cubs. ___ AP MLB: Brian Dulik, The Associated Press

Cardinals Rally From 5-Run Deficit To Defeat Guardians 9-6
Victor Scott II had two hits and two RBIs as the St. Louis Cardinals rallied for a 9–6 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday. Masyn Winn added three hits for St. Louis, and Brendan Donovan and Willson Contreras both homered. Donovan and Alec Burleson each drove in two runs. Kyle Manzardo and Gabriel Arias went deep for the Guardians (40–41), who have lost three straight and dropped under .500 for the first time since April 9. Cleveland snapped a 21-inning scoreless drought with six runs in the third to take a 6–1 lead before St. Louis came back. Burleson had a two-run single in the fifth, and Scott tied it with a two-run double during a five-run sixth. Yohel Pozo scored the go-ahead run on Donovan's sacrifice fly, and Scott came home on an RBI groundout by Winn. Contreras added a solo homer in the ninth. Matt Svanson (1–0) got the win, and Ryan Helsley earned his 16th save. Matt Festa (1–2) took the loss. In the third, the Guardians got a solo shot from Manzardo and a two-run drive by Arias off starter Miles Mikolas. Their other runs came on an RBI double by Lane Thomas, an RBI triple by Steven Kwan, and a run-scoring grounder by Daniel Schneeman. Key moment: Donovan lined a fastball over the wall in right-center on Slade Cecconi's first pitch. It was the sixth time this season a Guardians starter allowed a home run on the opening pitch of the game–most in the majors. Cleveland gave up six such homers from 2017–24. Key stat: It was the first time since July 5 last year against Washington that the Cardinals trailed by five and rallied to win. The last time Cleveland led by at least five and lost was on May 19, 2023, against the New York Mets. Up next: The series finale is a matchup of left-handers. Matthew Liberatore (5–6, 3.96 ERA) pitches for St. Louis, and Logan Allen (5–5, 4.25) takes the mound for Cleveland.
