Nolan Gorman hit a late tie breaking home run for the second straight day, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals over the Colorado Rockies 7-4 on Wednesday.

Nolan Arenado hit his 139th home run at Coors Field and Tyler O’Neill got his first home run since opening day.

With the score 4-4 in the eighth, Willson Contreras hit a two-out chopper off Justin Lawrence (0-1) to second baseman Ryan McMahon. C.J. Cron, playing several steps off first, moved toward second and was beaten by Contreras to the first base bag. Cron was charged with an error.

Gorman hit a tie breaking three-run homer in the ninth inning on Tuesday night after McMahon’s fielding error on Tommy Edman’s grounder. This time, Gorman drove a sinker into the left-field seats for his fourth homer and a 6-4 lead. Paul Goldschmidt added an RBI double in the ninth against Connor Seabold.
