ST. LOUIS (AP) — Willson Contreras had three hits and four RBIs, Nolan Gorman homered and Matthew Liberatore pitched 5 1/3 shutout innings in the St. Louis Cardinals’ 5-1 victory over the Athletics on Wednesday night.
Liberatore (7-11) struck out seven. JoJo Romero got the final four outs for his seventh save.
Gorman hit a solo home run in the seventh inning, his 14th of the season. He also had two singles.
Contreras opened the scoring in the third with a two-run single off Jeffrey Springs (10-10) that right fielder Brent Rooker misjudged or couldn’t see. In the eighth, Contreras added a two-run triple to left.
