Nolan Gorman hit a pair of two-run homers - including a first-inning blast that capped off a three-homer inning - and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 9-4 on Sunday.
Brendan Donovan and Alec Burleson also homered to start the game off of Toronto pitcher Chris Bassitt, who made his debut for the Blue Jays.
Gorman recorded the second two-homer game of his career, the other coming in Milwaukee in June of last year. Dylan Carlson added three hits for the Cardinals in his first start of the season. St. Louis catcher Willson Contreras, who signed a five-year free agent contract in December, returned to the lineup and had two hits. He left Thursday's game after taking a Jordan Hicks pitch off his kneecap.ICHIRO AND ARENADO
