Velázquez’s Blast Ignites Cardinals | MLB News

That blast broke a scoring drought and sparked a rally, as Masyn Winn and Lars Nootbaar followed with singles, then Nathan Church added another homer to make it 4-1. A sixth-inning run via Winn’s walk, steal, and sacrifice fly gave them breathing room. It was the timely, clutch hitting the team desperately needed — and a sign they’re turning the corner.
